Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello accused the Trump administration on Wednesday of "kidnapping" 78 Venezuelan children who remain in U.S. custody after their parents were deported, calling the alleged separation a "crime against humanity."

"They were kidnapped in the United States by the U.S. government; they were ripped from their parents' hands," Cabello said during his weekly program on state television. According to the minister, 47 girls and 31 boys are still in the U.S. despite their families being sent back to Venezuela on deportation flights.
