A aircraft departing from Honduras carrying 199 immigrants deported by US authorities arrived in Venezuela in the early hours of the morning, Latin American state authorities said.

“Today we are welcoming 199 compatriots,” interior minister Dosdado Campbug summed up at Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maisceia, 21 kilometers from the center of the capital of Caracas.

This was the fourth flight with Venezuelan nationals deported by the US. The first two departed from El Paso, in Texas, on 10 February. There was another one, carrying 177 immigrants from the US military base to Guantanamo, Cuba, Honduras.

Repatriation flights resumed amidst Washington and Caracas on the occasion of US President Donald Trump’s immigration policy.

They had been suspended a month ago, with both sides arguing over a violation of an agreement that closed in January, but the Venezuelan government said on Saturday that they would resume.

What days, Venezuela immigrants were deported by the Trump government and ended up in a high security prison of El Salvador as they were accused of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang.

The Venezuelan government characterizes the arrests, deportations and imprisonments to Salvador immigrants from the country and announced that it had hired a law firm to secure their release.
