Venezuela frees 10 jailed Americans
Manila Bulletin
|July 20 2025
Venezuela on Friday released 10 jailed US citizens and permanent residents in exchange for getting home scores of migrants deported by the United States to El Salvador months ago under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, officials said.

The complex, three-country arrangement represents a diplomatic achievement for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, helps President Donald Trump in his goal of bringing home Americans jailed abroad, and lands Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele a swap that he proposed months ago.
“Every wrongfully detained American in Venezuela is now free and back in our homeland,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement in which he thanked Bukele, a Trump ally.
Bukele said El Salvador had handed over all the Venezuelan nationals in its custody. Maduro described Friday as “a day of blessings and good news for Venezuela.” He called it “the perfect day for Venezuela.”
Central to the deal are more than 250 Venezuelan migrants freed by El Salvador, which in March agreed to a $6-million payment from the Trump administration to house them in its notorious prison.
