Former President and current Republican candidate Donald Trump claimed during a rally in New York that Caracas, Venezuela, is now safer than many U.S. cities, alleging that Venezuelan authorities have emptied their prisons and sent criminals northward to the United States and blaming Kamala Harris for what he labeled a "horrible invasion."
The claim comes three days after the Biden administration, through the U.S. Department of State, reissued an advisory against traveling to Venezuela, citing ongoing risks such as "wrongful detentions, terrorism, kidnapping, the arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest and poor health infrastructure."
