WASHINGTON _ The Trump administration is threatening to deport the family members of Venezuelan military officials _ including some who live in the Miami area _ who don't disobey the Nicolas Maduro government and allow aid from the United States to enter Venezuela.
A senior administration official told a small group of reporters Friday that the administration has collected data on military leaders who have family that have left Venezuela. They are living in Miami, the Caribbean and across the hemisphere. According to the administration, they're living lives of luxury while their countrymen suffer.
"We will no longer tolerate that double standard," a senior administration official said. "They face a situation where they and their families will have to go back to Venezuela ... They will have to go back and live in the misery that they're imposing."
