Biden admin eyes more deportation flights to Venezuela as migrant numbers shatter records
Fox News
The Biden administration is looking to increase the number of deportation flights to Venezuela, as it faces record numbers of migrant encounters at the southern border.
The move comes as U.S. and Mexican officials met last week to discuss the migration challenges facing the two countries, a meeting that officials described as productive, but that drew scrutiny from Republicans for the inclusion of talks about the "benefits" of "regularizing" illegal immigrants already in the country.

Officials on Tuesday said that Mexico has taken "enhanced enforcement operations" to decongest the border region, which will allow ports of entry to re-open on Thursday at locations in Eagle Pass, Texas, San Ysidro, California, Lukeville, Arizona and Nogales, Arizona.
