First flight of deported Venezuelan migrants arrives in Caracas after Maduro's capture

A flight with 231 Venezuelan migrants deported from the U.S. city of Phoenix arrived Friday to their home country, nearly two weeks after the United States captured former President Nicolás Maduro and took him to New York to face drug trafficking charges. The Eastern Airlines plane arrived at an airport outside the capital, Caracas, marking the resumption of flights after Washington — according to Venezuelan officials — unilaterally suspended direct deportation air transfers in mid-December. The previous direct flight from the U.S. was on Dec. 10.
