Venezuelan authorities are expected to allow the United States to return migrants without documents being deported directly to Venezuela, Bloomberg reported on Saturday, citing a number of sources familiar with the matter.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, on Friday (31/1) met US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Richard Grenell, in Caracas.

During the meeting, the Venezuelan leader agreed to receive several flights carrying deported migrants from the US, the sources told the agency.

On Friday, US Special Envoy for Latin America, Mauricio Claver-Carone, said Trump expects Maduro to welcome back all " Venezuelan criminals" from the United States unconditionally.

On January 29, US media reported that US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem had suspended the extension of temporary residence permits for more than 600,000 Venezuelans, ending the deportation protection granted by the previous administration.

At the same time, Trump's Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tom Homan, said that US immigration authorities had deported more than 4,000 immigrants without documents just in the first week since the raids began.

After being sworn in on January 20, Trump said he would seek to immediately stop irregular migrants crossing the US border and begin the extradition process for millions of people.

Trump also declared a national state of emergency regarding the situation on the US southern border.
