Venezuelan migrants arrived at Simon Bolivar International airport in Venezuela on a deportation flight from the US.
The US and Venezuelan governments separately confirmed the flights by Venezuelan airline Conviasa without saying how many were aboard or disclosing their routes.
Upon returning to the White House, Donald Trump declared that illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border was a national emergency and said he planned to send US troops to help support immigration agents and restrict refugees and asylum.
He reversed several immigration orders from the Biden presidency, including one that narrowed deportation priorities to people who commit serious crimes.
