2-year-old girl separated from her parents by U.S. deportation arrives in Venezuela

A 2-year-old girl, Maikelys Espinoza, was reunited with her mother in Venezuela after being separated due to U.S. deportations, which the Venezuelan government labeled as kidnapping. Maikelys arrived with over 220 deported migrants, and her return was celebrated by Venezuelan officials, including President Nicolás Maduro and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who called it a significant victory. The U.S. had justified the separation by alleging the parents’ ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, but little evidence has been provided to support this claim.
