U.S. deportation flight lands in Caracas with migrants

A flight carrying 311 Venezuelan migrants arrived in Caracas from the U.S. This return follows increased tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro. The flight was organized by the state-owned airline Conviasa. On the plane, children were seen holding the Venezuelan flag. They stepped off to a round of applause from waiting family members. This flight occurred shortly after the U.S. issued a warning to Maduro about potential sanctions if Venezuela did not accept deportees. The situation highlights the complicated relationship between the U.S. and Venezuela. Reports suggest that the U.S. is pushing for more cooperation from Venezuela concerning migrant returns.
