Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro announced his regime will turn this year’s May Day rally into a nationwide campaign demanding the return of a two-year-old girl placed in U.S. foster care and the release of 252 Venezuelan nationals tied to a violent foreign terrorist organization. The individuals were deported from the U.S. and transferred to El Salvador due to their affiliation with Tren de Aragua, a gang known for its involvement in murder, human trafficking, and drug crimes.
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele doubled down Tuesday on his proposal to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro: release 252 political prisoners—including Venezuelans and foreign nationals—in exchange for 252 Venezuelan deportees detained in El Salvador for alleged ties to the Tren de Aragua terrorist group.
The Department of Justice announced that it instructed authorities in the Dominican Republic to seize a plane belonging to the regime of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on behalf of the U.S.
