All the children who have been separated from their mothers will be reunited with their families, First Lady Flores vowed.
On Friday, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello announced the arrival of two flights carrying repatriated Venezuelan migrants as part of the “Return to the Homeland” plan.

“These are flights number 45 and 46 carried out in 2025, a year in which this plan has been reactivated as a state policy under President Nicolas Maduro,” he said.
“In theory, we expect the arrival of 251 migrants. We say ‘in theory’ because they announce a certain number of people, and normally a different number arrives,” Cabello pointed out, alluding to the behavior of U.S. immigration authorities.
Among the repatriated people were 7 children who were separated from their parents and remained kidnapped in U.S. territory as a result of anti-migrant policies implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“All the children who have been separated from their mothers will come to Venezuela and be reunited with their families. It’s a commitment,” First Lady Cilia Flores commented after the migrants’ arrival.
“Among the children who were reunited with their loved ones are: Mia Rodriguez, 4; Gloriannys Molina, 1; Ethan Padilla, 2; Marelbis Parra, 9; and siblings Miran Salas, 4, and Kendra Salas, 12,” Venezuela News reported.
Hours earlier, Camilla Fabri, president of the Return to the Homeland Mission, reaffirmed the Venezuelan government’s commitment to bringing back 252 Venezuelans kidnapped in El Salvador and returning 31 children separated by U.S. anti-immigration policies to their mothers.
