Venezuelan immigrants deported from US to Venezuela via Honduras

In apparent deal between three countries, Venezuelan official said country would resume accepting US deportees

A group of Venezuelan immigrants have been deported from the US to Honduras and then sent on to Venezuela, after an apparent deal between the three countries.

The flights came one day after a Venezuelan government official announced on social media it would resume accepting deportees from the US. Deportations from the US to Venezuela, which have rarely taken place, have been a point of dispute for the Trump administration.
