The ministry, led by Diosdado Cabello, trusts that the US government “rectify sooner rather than later and restart the return process of the affected Venezuelans.”
The Ministry of the Interior, Justice and Peace reported that the United States government decided to “unilaterally” suspend the return of Venezuelan migrants that was scheduled for this Friday, December 12.
“The measure contradicts the official discourse of that country regarding the situation of migrants in its territory and generates uncertainty among Venezuelan families who were waiting for their reunion,” he noted on his Instagram account.
In the statement, he expressed that the measure announced by Trump interrupts the repatriation process that “had been carried out in a coordinated manner and that represented a way to alleviate the situation of fellow citizens detained and persecuted on US soil.”

Migrant repatriation flights have been directly affected by the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Venezuela.
Following the warning issued by US President Donald Trump on November 29 to airlines to consider Venezuelan airspace “completely closed,” the Maduro administration suspended deportation flights and assured that it was a North American decision.
Subsequently, it was announced the restart of flights due to a request made by the Donald Trump government, as reported by the Ministry of Transportation on its Instagram account.
The United States and Venezuela broke diplomatic relations since 2019, but maintain contacts on specific issues. Repatriation flights resumed at the beginning of the year following the visit to Venezuela of Donald Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell.
