Deportations had previously slowed due to the natural disaster, but increased again after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 300,000 Venezuelans in October 2024. The recent flight followed a military operation in January 2025 that captured President Nicolás Maduro, leading to renewed deportation efforts under acting President Delcy Rodríguez.
