“These are flights number 45 and 46 carried out in 2025, a year in which this plan has been reactivated as a state policy under President Nicolas Maduro,” he said.
“In theory, we expect the arrival of 251 migrants. We say ‘in theory’ because they announce a certain number of people, and normally a different number arrives,” Cabello pointed out, alluding to the behavior of U.S. immigration authorities.
Among the repatriated people were 7 children who were separated from their parents and remained kidnapped in U.S. territory as a result of anti-migrant policies implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“All the children who have been separated from their families will come to Venezuela and be reunited with their families. It’s a commitment,” First Lady Cilia Flores commented after the migrants’ arrival.
“Among the children who were reunited with their loved ones are: Mia Rodriguez, 4; Gloriannys Molina, 1; Ethan Padilla, 2; Marelbis Parra, 9; and siblings Miran Salas, 4, and Kendra Salas, 12,” Venezuela News reported.

In a remarkable turn of events, Venezuela’s economy has demonstrated resilience and strength, logging 17 consecutive quarters of growth.
Despite the challenges presented by unilateral coercive measures from the United States and the European Union, the South American nation is steadily advancing in diversifying its productive apparatus.

Venezuela Denounces Alliance of Criminal and Far-Right Gangs Plotting Against the Nation
During a recent ceremony in Caracas to equip the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) and Bolivarian National Police (PNB), Venezuela’s Vice President for Policy, Citizen Security, and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, issued a stern warning about the growing convergence of criminal gangs, drug traffickers, and far-right conspirators.
According to Cabello, these distinct but aligned forces have united their efforts, using illicit drug money to finance criminal violence and terrorist plots aimed at destabilizing the Bolivarian Revolution.
Aligned with President Nicolas Maduro’s mandate, Venezuelan security forces have expanded and intensified counterinsurgency and anti-criminal operations across the country. Cabello emphasized the resolute commitment of the FANB and PNB, affirming that “all the criminals who have confronted the military and police forces have been killed.”
This zero-tolerance stance reflects the government’s dedication to defending Venezuela’s sovereignty against external and internal attacks.
Cabello highlighted a recent success in Caracas, where security forces neutralized a prominent criminal gang leader responsible for organizing violent assaults on government institutions, including attacks targeting the Miraflores Palace.
