International News: First flight repatriating Venezuelan migrants departs Mexico

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Mexican officials say that the first flight repatriating Venezuelan migrants departed Mexico on Tuesday, Reuters report.

Thousands of Venezuelans are being expelled from the United States under a plan that was announced earlier this month.

The plane departed Mexico enroute to Caracas, sources said.

The flight was set to carry about 100 Venezuelans paying a reduced fare of just over $200.

Under the bilateral plan, the U.S. said that it would grant up to 24,000 Venezuelans humanitarian access to the U.S. by air.

The plan also allowed for U.S. officials to expel to Mexico those caught trying to cross illegally by land.
