US deportation flights to Venezuela resume following weeks-long standoff
Fox News
Deportation flights carrying Venezuelan migrants resumed on Sunday after the Trump administration struck a deal with Nicholás Maduro.
The Trump administration has vowed to strike a deal with the Venezuelan government to accept flights carrying deportees from the United States, but has been limited in the regularity of the transfers after President Nicholás Maduro halted the flights earlier this month – with only four flights being received by the Venezuelan government since Trump was sworn into office.

Maduro refused to receive the flights after Trump announced that the U.S. would terminate the Biden-era permit allowing Chevron to export Venezuelan oil, effectively closing off a major revenue source for the country.
