The nearly 200 migrants detained at Guantanamo Bay have been cleared out of the military base, with all but one person flown back to Venezuela following successful negotiations with the South American nation’s leader, according to news reports.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement flew 177 of the 178 migrant detainees on several flights that departed Guantanamo Bay for Honduras early Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Once in Honduras, Venezuelan planes bound for Caracas took over the second leg of the repatriation flights, preventing planes from the United States from flying into Venezuela.
