Venezuela intends to start accepting return flights from the US again

The Trump era has not satisfied its promise for mass deportations: State of the art in Venezuela and the challenge to the U.S. Constitution

The Trump administration ended the program that allowed people from seven countries to enter the United States without fear of being deported as a result of the agreement to resume deportation flights to Venezuela.

Saturday’s agreement could help Mr. Trump accelerate his plans for mass deportations, one of the central promises of his campaign. He has already enlisted military planes, sent people to third countries far from their homes and invoked the wartime law to achieve that goal. Arrests inside the country are up sharply relative to those in the Biden administration, but they are well below the levels Mr. Trump and his immigration advisers want.

The Trump administration has stonewalled the judge about the deportations. The judge told the government it was not being very cooperative at this point. I will find out if they violated my order and who was responsible.

The president and allies, including Elon Musk, went to war with the judge over his order restricting deportations, calling for the judge’s impeachment. The rapidly escalating spat caused Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. of the Supreme Court to weigh in with a rare statement, admonishing the calls for the judge’s impeachment. This spurred concerns of a constitutional crisis.

On Friday, Mr. Trump threatened that those caught vandalizing Teslas could end up in prison for 20 years if they weren’t caught.

Venezuela’s President called on the United States to bring back the migrants who were sent there.

But last week Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the Trump administration would impose “new, severe, and escalating sanctions” on the country unless it began accepting migrants again.
