Jorge Ramos was deported and barred re-entry by Venezuelan officials one day after his brief detention while interviewing embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The National Union of Press Workers in Venezuela, the chief organization representing credentialed journalists in the country, confirmed that the Mexican-American journalist had been ordered to be deported Tuesday by the Maduro regime. Ramos and his team were placed on an American Airlines flight from Caracas to Miami at 11:15 a.m. ET.
