A group of 174 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived Friday at Caracas' Maiquetia International Airport, Venezuelan authorities said.



Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello welcomed the group, which included 142 men, 18 women, six mothers, and eight children, all transported aboard a U.S.-based charter flight.



The repatriation is part of Venezuela's "Plan Vuelta a la Patria" (Return to the Homeland), a government initiative aimed at reintegrating returning migrants.



"These operations require extraordinary coordination efforts. There's no program like Venezuela's repatriation plan," Cabello said.
