Venezuela is stripping the Biden administration of a crucial tool of deterrence for illegal immigration by no longer accepting flights of migrants being deported from the U.S.
The U.S. returned about 1,800 Venezuelans on 15 flights since the countries announced a deal to restart deportations in October.
A total of 266,071 Venezuelans were encountered in fiscal year 2023.
The U.S. has other measures to deport migrants to Venezuela, including commercial flights, the Journal reported, although there are no direct commercial flights between the U.S. and Venezuela.
Also, Mexican authorities won't deport Venezuelans on commercial flights.
