The Trump administration has expressed confidence that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would accept the return of undocumented Venezuelans. Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff for policy, stated that Maduro would accept all flights of TDA gang members back. This statement was made during a press briefing at the White House.
Miller was also asked about the possibility of El Salvador taking in Venezuelan members of the Tren de Aragua gang as part of a broader agreement with the US. In response, Miller highlighted the cooperation El Salvador has shown on migration-related issues.
The Trump administration's stance on the matter indicates a belief that Maduro would cooperate in accepting the return of undocumented Venezuelans, particularly those associated with gangs. This position aligns with the administration's broader efforts to address immigration and border security concerns.
It remains to be seen how this potential agreement between the US, Venezuela, and El Salvador will unfold and what implications it may have on the larger issue of migration in the region. The statements made by Miller provide insight into the administration's approach to handling undocumented individuals with ties to criminal organizations.
