The Venezuelan government’s Gran Misión Vuelta a la Patria program confirmed that 184 men and 21 women were included in this latest group of returnees. Upon arrival, all migrants are subject to established health and security protocols.

The Ministry of Interior and Justice stated that “this flight reaffirms the commitment of the Venezuelan Government to guarantee the dignified and safe return of those who have chosen to come back to their homeland.”

This flight follows a previous repatriation last Friday, which brought back 207 Venezuelans deported from Texas, including 17 minors. These arrivals are part of a deportation agreement signed earlier this year between Venezuela and the United States, despite the absence of diplomatic relations since 2019.

According to official data, 9,889 Venezuelans have returned in 54 flights since the start of 2025, coordinated under this bilateral arrangement. The Venezuelan authorities describe these flights as part of the voluntary return program, which also receives nationals deported from the U.S.

In addition to transportation, the Interior Ministry highlighted that the program provides “social support, reintegration opportunities, and logistical assistance” for those returning.

The repatriation flights underscore ongoing cooperation between Venezuela and the United States in managing migration flows, while Venezuela continues to emphasize a structured and safe return process for its citizens.
