The United States has arranged for El Salvador to transfer Venezuelan deportees to Caracas in exchange for the release of ten individuals held by the Venezuelan government—five U.S. citizens and five permanent residents—according to two U.S. officials quoted by Reuters.
The detainees in question are those taken earlier this year to El Salvador's maximum-security CECOT facility. Neither the U.S. State Department, the White House, nor the Department of Homeland Security have commented on the reported swap.
