Deportation flights to Venezuela will resume, a senior U.S. diplomat said. "I am pleased to announce that Venezuela has agreed to resume flights to pick up their citizens who broke U.S. Immigration Laws and entered the U.S. illegally," said Richard Grenell, an envoy for special missions, said in a post on X.

A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from quickly deporting five Venezuelan nationals under a rarely used law meant to quickly remove foreigners during wartime or invasion.
