First US deportation flights to Venezuela land in Caracas as Trump pushes crackdown

Two U.S. flights carrying Venezuelan migrants arrived in Caracas, marking a significant step in Trump's campaign promise to deport millions. The flights follow a visit by Trump adviser Richard Grenell to Venezuela, where he secured the release of six detained Americans. Maduro's government had refused to accept deportees, except briefly under Biden. Analysts warn that returnees face an uncertain future, with concerns over due process and potential reprisals in Venezuela's authoritarian justice system.
