This Tuesday, May 27, 2025, the US deported 90 Venezuelan migrants, who returned to their country in a flight that departed from Honduras, according to Globovisión television channel. The transfer took place aboard a plane of the state-owned airline Conviasa, which landed at the International Airport of Maiquetía Simón Bolívar, in the outskirts of Caracas.
According to official data, 11 women and 79 men were among the returnees, and on this occasion there were no children or pregnant women on board. The flight is part of the Venezuelan government program known as Plan Vuelta a la Patria, an initiative that seeks to facilitate the return of Venezuelan citizens who face migratory difficulties abroad.
What is the “Plan Vuelta a la Patria”?
This program, implemented by the Venezuelan government since 2018, offers voluntary repatriation to Venezuelan citizens in vulnerable situations abroad.
In this case, the migrants were received by Anahí Arizmendi, national coordinator of the plan, who emphasized that this effort reflects the government’s commitment to its citizens abroad.
The repatriation takes place within the framework of a migration agreement reached between the United States and Venezuela in February 2025, following a visit to Caracas by President Donald Trump’s special representative, Richard Grenell.
Despite the fact that the two countries have not maintained formal diplomatic relations since 2019, this agreement has allowed for several deportation and repatriation flights.
Since February, according to official figures, a total of 4,888 Venezuelans have been repatriated from the US, in flights coordinated with logistical support from third countries such as Mexico, Honduras and Panama, used as migratory transit points.
These figures reflect an increase in deportation and immigration control measures under the current U.S. administration.
US deports 90 Venezuelans from Honduras
Last Wednesday, another flight with 90 Venezuelan migrants deported by the United States also arrived in Caracas.
According to Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, the group included seven minors.
Although these returns have been met with logistical support from the Venezuelan government, several human rights organizations have expressed concern about the treatment of migrants during their detention and transfer, as well as the lack of guarantees when returning to a country with critical socioeconomic conditions.

On purpose of US deports 90 Venezuelans and for the Venezuelan community in the United States, it is important to know that deportations continue to be active, especially for those who have been detained in irregular immigration proceedings. In this context, it is recommended:
Consult with immigration attorneys if you have an open case.
Avoid moving to intermediate countries without clear information about your legal status.
Maintain contact with community organizations or allied consulates in third countries.
These flights are part of a broader U.S. strategy to tighten its immigration policy, which now includes new visa restrictions and social media screening.
