Venezuela Agrees to Accept Migrants in Deal Paving Way for Deportations, Trump Says​

Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans have fled the country’s economic conditions and repression in recent years​



“… The deal was negotiated with Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro by Trump adviser Richard Grenell, who made a rare visit by a U.S. official to the capital, Caracas, on Friday. Grenell returned to the U.S. Friday evening with six Americans who had been detained in Venezuelan prisons.

… The agreement will help Trump deliver on a campaign promise to deport millions of immigrants living in the U.S. without authorization. Accepting deportees is a reversal for Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro who has long refused to allow deportation planes from the U.S., where more than 600,000 Venezuelans had migrated in recent years and received special protected status allowing them to work temporarily.

… Earlier this week, the Trump administration revoked a Biden-era decision that extended this status, meaning Venezuelans could be eligible for deportation as soon as April.

No financial or other concessions were promised to Maduro, apart from the prospect of improving the relationship with the U.S., Grenell said. …”

A lot of these people were fleeing Maduro, who by the way retained power in an effective coup after losing the last election — returning some of them to Maduro may well be signing their death warrants at the hands of the Maduro regime, but we may never know for sure as no doubt enemies of Maduro will be labeled as Tren de Aragua before being disappeared…

So the Trump Administration is doing business with an anti democratic left wing authoritarian and legitimizing his illegitimate retention of power.

“… Grenell’s visit helps Maduro claim legitimacy, even as most governments in the region don’t recognize him and he faces U.S. federal indictments on charges of drug trafficking and corruption. His office heavily publicized the meeting with Grenell, releasing photos of them shaking hands and smiling.

Around eight million Venezuelans have fled the country’s economic turmoil and political repression in recent years. …”

I bet the American citizens of Venezuelan heritage didn’t expect Trump to cooperate with a leftist dictator like Maduro or to ship their Venezuelan cousins back into Maduro’s hands.

FAFO.
 
Considering border crossings are reportedly down 93% since Trump took office, hopefully all this becomes less and less of a problem as time passes. I see where Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the border since Trump threatened sanctions. Thank you, President Trump. Canada will be next. Now, on to trying to clean up the complete disaster created by Biden and his crew.

I think this proves without a doubt which administration wants to stop illegal immigration, and which administration actually encouraged it, and as much of it as they could get. Not a single new immigration law passed by Congress but yet to two T-TOTALLY different approaches and two totally different outcomes....one, don't come....the other.... come one, come all, and as fast as you can get here.

Down 93% in two weeks huh?

This isn’t just a trump thing. Just about every president has done business with various dictators. Don’t act like this is something new.
 


Is the Administration seeking a justification to use military force (bombs or troops?) in Mexico against Mexican drug cartels? I mean, sure, maybe in a vacuum that sounds outlandish, but that is something Trump floated many times during his campaign.

Could also just be PR preening but sounds ominous.

 
Weren't there all sorts of legal vacuums and issues with terrorist detainees sent to Gitmo?

I'm not sure they thought this through. The cost of holding thousands of detainees there alone will be an issue.

Guantanamo is an absolute nightmare for criminal due process. Especially if torture is involved. That said, due process may not mean much going forward.
 


I swear I at first that referred to a Mr. "wetback" -- thank goodness, no. But really, cite a 528-year-old case??? Maybe go back and cite the Witchfinder General, too, since Alito likes him (I think it was Alito).
