Of course they won't take them back. They sent them here with a mission.
NEW: CBP source provided an internal CBP intelligence bulletin revealing tattoos/identifiers for Tren De Aragua, the Venezuelan prison gang that has been entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border.Both CBP source & an ICE source expressed frustration that these Venezuelan gang members are extremely difficult to deport because Venezuela won’t take their citizens back right now. They can be removed to Mexico, but I’m told they typically then re-enter the U.S. illegally as a “gotaway.”ICE source: “We have a ton of Venezuelans that we can’t get rid of.” Reminder: According to ICE & CBP data, in fiscal year 2023, there were 335,000 encounters with Venezuelans at the border, but only 834 Venezuelans were deported. Venezuela is currently not taking any removal flights from the U.S.
