House Democrat: 'Part of the intent' of Maduro ouster is to send Venezuelans back

Source: The Hill

01/04/26 5:15 PM ET


Democratic Rep. Ami Bera (Calif.) said Sunday that the Trump administration’s motives for capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro goes beyond stopping the flow of drugs and sanctioned oil from the South American country.

“I do think part of the intent of the administration is now that they have a different administration in Venezuela that they are going to start sending those folks back to Venezuela,” Bera told host Gillian Turner on “Fox News Sunday,” referring to Venezuelan migrants in the U.S.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked temporary protected status (TPS) earlier this year for roughly 600,000 Venezuelans who received it from the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration.

Earlier Sunday, Noem said on “Fox News Sunday” that every person previously under TPS can apply for refugee status, including Venezuelans. The long-term future of the South American country is unclear following the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

That is EXACTLY what they plan to do. All those celebrating are going to be rounded up and DEPORTED back to Venezuela. They obviously don't "get it".

Earlier Sunday, Noem said on “Fox News Sunday” that every person previously under TPS can apply for refugee status, including Venezuelans.


THAT is bullshit and she LIED. When they show up to apply for it, they will approve few if any "applicants" as "refugees", they will be arrested, detained and held in a concentration camp, and will then be herded onto planes and sent BACK to Venezuela (probably along with others from other countries who they detain, where they will dump them there now that they "control" what will be a huge "3rd party country" ).

Even if the big oil companies were interested in jumping in there, Venezuelan oil will never pay for it all.
