- Venezuelan Vice President Diosdado Cabello criticized the chaotic repatriation process after only 71 migrants returned from the US on May 7, 2025.

- Cabello highlighted US failures including misinformation campaigns, lack of humanitarian coordination, and separation of Venezuelan minors from families during deportations.
- The returned group included 62 men and 9 women, notably excluding any minors, and Cabello condemned the US as showing “imperial arrogance” and “the disorder of the North American empire.”
- This event underscores persistent Venezuela-US tensions and triggers Caracas’s calls to improve repatriation protocols and resume the migration return effort promptly.
