Venezuela's Maduro wants his thugs back
American Thinker ^ | 20 Mar, 2025 | Monica Showalter

It's almost like he lost a division.

Venezuela's socialist dictator, Nicolas Maduro, has stepped forward with a bizarre mixture of rage and crocodile tears, whimpering about all theVenezuelan criminals shipped by the U.S. to El Salvador this weekend for a stretch in President Nayyib Bukele's famously strict prisons.

According to CNN:

Venezuela’s leader has described the deportation of more than 200 mostly Venezuelan migrants sent by the United States to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador as a “kidnapping,” and denied they are criminals while backing calls for their return.

“Nayib Bukele should not be an accomplice to this kidnapping, because our boys did not commit any crime in the United States, none,” Nicolas Maduro told supporters Wednesday, referencing El Salvador’s leader, who has struck a deal with US President Donald Trump.

“They were not brought to trial, they were not given the right to a defense, the right to due process, they were deceived, handcuffed, put on a plane, kidnapped, and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador,” Maduro added.

It's as good an argument as any I've ever seen that President Trump was right in invoking the Alien Enemy Act in deporting the Venezuelan illegals involved with Tren de Aragua gang from the U.S.

Maduro is suddenly insisting that he wants these people back in Venezuela -- after emptying his prisons of them and telling them to head to el norte.

Crazier still, the prisoners were sent to El Salvador precisely because Maduro refused to take a repatriation flight of them to Venezuela.

He didn't want them back earlier, but now he wants them back now? He's offering to send migrant "dignity" flights, borrowing from the language of the pope, when just yesterday, he didn't want them back inside his country?

So we should just allow illegal invasion?

Once his “dignity flights” are in the air, shoot them down. They are known terrorists and Venezuela has now outed itself as a state sponsor of terrorism.

They don't have to go home,

But they can't stay here.

Closing Time...

I read somewhere that our country is paying rent to send these thugs back home for at least a year. Could be jealousy.

Leftist judges want the terrorists here in the US. Perhaps we can have a cage match between the two?

I bet TdA has leverage on Maduro, and their business expansion in the US is in jeopardy. They’re making Maduro ask for their thugs back.

Maduro’s comments about ‘our boys did not commit any crime in the United States’ and were denied due process…. His ‘boys’ were here illegally, were involved in violent crime, and are part of a Foreign Terrorist Organization (an enemy combatant). That they still have a pulse is their dumb luck.

“”I read somewhere that our country is paying rent to send these thugs back home for at least a year.””

I would hope that isn’t true.

200 men would more a “Company” size than a “Division”. Unless it’s a really small army.

Maduro is helping Trump make the statement to foreign gangs to stay away from the U.S..

In addition, whether the judge knows it our not he is actually helping Trump too by keeping the treatment of foreign criminals on the front page. As usual, the Trump foes are doing the heavy lifting for Trump for free.

Maybe Maduro’s control of population is decreasing and needs thugs back to force them to live in a distraught society. Venaz once had a vibrant economy and then the people were unarmed by the socialists into living in poverty. Dems are pushing hard for the same thing here. Talk to bernie.

It would give me nightmares to think about that.
