ICE Flies Nearly 8,000 Venezuelans To Caracas In 40 Deportation Flights As U.S. Targets Tren De Aragua

DHS says ICE has conducted 40 removal flights to Caracas since March, deporting nearly 8,000 Venezuelans, including alleged Tren de Aragua members and other offenders. Officials frame the flights as part of a broader crackdown that includes naval strikes on suspected narcotics vessels and a U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean. Venezuela has condemned the actions, while rights groups question due process for returnees.
