The U.S. government deported 177 Venezuelan migrants from Guantanamo Bay to Honduras, then to Venezuela. This action involved 126 individuals with alleged criminal affiliations. The deportations followed a lawsuit filed by the ACLU about denied legal access to migrants at Guantanamo Bay.

Many of the migrants were being kept in a detention facility that has historically held suspected terrorists. They are expected to be deported to Venezuela soon.

Venezuela said it will receive a flight of its nationals it says were “unfairly” taken to Guantanamo after being deported from the US.
