On Friday, 174 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived at Simon Bolivar Airport in Maiquetia, La Guaira state, on a flight operated by the state-owned airline CONVIASA from Texas.
The new group of migrants was received by a Bolivarian government delegation led by Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. With this new group, the number of Venezuelans who have returned to the country has reached 3,472 since the reactivation of the plan ordered by President Nicolas Maduro to promote the socioeconomic reintegration of returnees.
This group includes eight children, 148 men, and 18 women, six of whom are mothers. Cabello also mentioned that another flight carrying 200 more migrants was expected to arrive later on Friday. This would bring the number of repatriation flights in recent days to 18.
As of May 2025, the “Return to the Homeland” plan continues to facilitate the voluntary repatriation of Venezuelan migrants facing hardships abroad. Since its inception in 2018, the program has repatriated over 920,000 citizens, providing them with assistance in reintegration, including legal aid, education, and socio-economic support.
