The Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officially known as the "Ministerio del Poder Popular para Relaciones Exteriores," issued an alert yesterday to Venezuelan citizens regarding travel to the United States due to “the risks and conditions they might face in that country.”
“In recent months, there has been an increase in arbitrary immigration control measures and harassment policies against Venezuelans,” states the notice issued by the Venezuelan government.
“There have been documented cases of arbitrary detentions, deportations without cause, confiscation of goods and documents, as well as discriminatory and degrading treatment by U.S. authorities,” the statement continues, detailing that this includes imprisonments “without due process and kidnappings in third-country prisons,” directly referencing the deportation of members of criminal groups to El Salvador, which took place over the weekend.
For this reason, the government recommends that those who reside in or transit through the United States take extra precautions due to “the increase in violent incidents” and the implementation of regulations that, according to the Venezuelan government, “restrict fundamental rights,” which could compromise the safety and well-being of its citizens.
“We call on the international community to be alert to these practices that violate human dignity and the principles of international law,” concludes the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement.
For several years, there have been no flights between the United States and Venezuela, so the significant traffic from that market is routed through airports such as Tocumen in Panama, Las Américas in Santo Domingo, or El Dorado in Bogotá (although the first two have been removed from the list as a result of Venezuela’s diplomatic crisis with Panama and the Dominican Republic following the fraudulent presidential elections in which Nicolás Maduro proclaimed himself president for a new term).
