On a call with reporters Friday, Mauricio Claver-Carone, the U.S. special envoy to Latin America, said Grenell will tell Maduro to take back all the Venezuelan criminals and Tren de Aragua gang members that have been “exported to the United States, and to do so unequivocally and without condition.”

Venezuelans in South Florida and across the country expressed outrage, fear and uncertainty Saturday after President Donald Trump announced Venezuela will take back its nationals deported from the United States.

The opposition’s Edmundo González, recognized by the United States as Venezuela’s president-elect, urges the Trump administration not to deal with the Maduro regime on immigration.

An agreement with the government of Nicolás Maduro will allow the possible deportation of hundreds of thousands back to the authoritarian socialist regime many have fled.
