Deportation flights to Venezuela resumed on Sunday after a weeks-long standoff between the Trump administration and the Venezuelan government, signaling a deal had been reached between the two countries.
A flight carrying 199 illegal aliens – including members of the violent Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang – to Venezuela landed Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The Trump administration has vowed to strike a deal with the Venezuelan government to accept flights carrying deportees from the United States, but has been limited in the regularity of the transfers after President Nicholás Maduro halted the flights earlier this month – with only four flights being received by the Venezuelan government since Trump was sworn into office.

Trump gives Chevron 30 days to stop pumping oil in Venezuela over Maduro’s stalled reforms, migrant returns
NY Post ^ | 03/04/2025 | Taylor Herzlich
The Trump administration on Tuesday gave Chevron 30 days to stop oil production in Venezuela after Washington accused President Nicolas Maduro of not making progress on electoral reforms and migrant returns....
President Trump reversed a Biden-era license that allowed the oil giant to operate in Venezuela despite US sanctions – a U-turn from January when the White House appeared to be making progress with Maduro.
The Treasury Department gave the US-based oil giant an April 3 deadline to pull up stakes, much quicker than the usual six-month wind-down period.
“Closing down Chevron’s operations in a month is an almost impossible task,” Geoff Ramsey, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council in Washington, told Bloomberg. “I would bet the administration is leaving space for the license to be renewed in April, if new terms are negotiated.”
In a statement, Chevron said its business in Venezuela complies with all laws and regulations, including the United States’ sanctions imposed during Trump’s first term.
“We are aware of the President’s directive and will abide by any direction given by the US Treasury Department to implement that directive,” a Chevron spokesperson told The Post.
The hard stop to Chevron’s oil production in Venezuela could eventually remove up to 200,000 barrels a day from the global market, according to Bloomberg.
It’s unlikely to have an immediate impact on prices, especially since OPEC decided this week to boost production – planning to increase output by 138,000 barrels per day in April.
