U.S. authorities are seeking to resume direct deportation flights to Venezuela and increase the pace of those to Cuba, the acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director told The Miami Herald.
Concretely, Patrick J. Lechleitner told the outlet that there are ongoing negotiations toward that end, but that parties are "still dialoguing and trying." He added that ICE is navigating a "very dynamic international environment," where countries become open or reluctant to receive such flights based on political shifts.
