The Trump administration completed a large-scale prisoner swap with Venezuela on Friday, sending about 250 Venezuelans who had been deported and imprisoned in El Salvador back to their home country in exchange for 10 US nationals, officials said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on social media the Americans, the last known to be detained in Venezuela, were now “on their way to freedom.”
“Until today, more Americans were wrongfully held in Venezuela than any other country in the world,” Rubio said in a statement. “Every wrongfully detained American in Venezuela is now free and back in our homeland.”
Wait, is this supposed to be a “good” thing? I was under the impression that those Venezuelans were in the US in the first place because they were refugees fleeing persecution; handing them right back to their persecutors seems like it has the potential to be even worse for them than CECOT was.
But now if they died it’s obviously someone else’s fault. /s
Crimes were committed. Sending them back is the tip of a justice iceberg.
Well, don’t be hasty. Being sent back to Venezuela may not be the beginning of justice, depending on why they left Venezuela to begin with.
Wait what?
-ICE abducts Venezuelans -US Sends them to El Salvador -El Salvador releases 250 Venezuelans (presumably who fled Venezuela) to Venezuela so that Venezuela would send 10 Americans to the US.

So is this just more AI generated slop or can we see “officials” take their rightful place in prison cells for these acts of treason yet?
You may not see that, citizen. ICE has been alerted to your location.
This is good news. I had heard that the CIA was facing some manpower issues.
