158 Venezuelan Migrants Repatriated from Mexico Arrive in Venezuela

A flight carrying 158 Venezuelan migrants repatriated from Mexico landed at Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, the gateway to Caracas. The arrival is part of the Venezuelan government's 'Gran Vuelta a la Patria' (Great Return to the Homeland) program, aimed at facilitating the return of its citizens abroad.

The group consisted of 38 men, 50 women, and 70 minors. Upon arrival, officials provided comprehensive medical attention and guidance for their reintegration into Venezuelan society. This operation is one of many repatriation efforts organized by the government.

This latest flight follows a similar operation on May 29, which saw 131 Venezuelan migrants return from Florida, United States. That group comprised 90 men, 29 women, and 12 children or adolescents. Since January of last year, over 150 repatriation flights, predominantly from the U.S., have landed in Venezuela, reflecting ongoing migration patterns and return initiatives.
