Venezuela To Receive UN Assistance For Migrants Illegally Imprisoned In El Salvador

The United Nations secretary general and the UN high commissioner for human rights “expressed their commitment to activating all the available mechanisms to re-establish as soon as possible the flagrantly violated rights of the Venezuelan migrants” abducted in El Salvador. This was reported by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Venezuela via a statement issued on Friday, March 28. This comes after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro held a telephone conversation with UN Secretary General António Guterres two days ago about the issue of the Venezuelan migrants deported from the US and illegally incarcerated in a maximum-security prison in El Salvador.

El Tren De Aragua: The Defunct Venezuelan Band

Until the designation as a “transnational criminal organization” by the US in 2024, the course of the now-disbanded group was narrated by a network of US think tanks, media and funds that constructed a discourse against the Bolivarian Revolution. This construction currently serves to justify sanctions, carry out mass deportations and feed the false idea of a failed state in Venezuela. In July 2024, when the US Treasury Department included Tren de Aragua on its list of transnational criminal organizations, it equated it with cartels such as Sinaloa or Jalisco Nueva Generación, which have a presence in more than 100 countries and have more than 45,000 members, associates and facilitators.
