Venezuela receives 7 kids left behind in US after parents deported

Venezuela on Friday received seven children who had been left behind in the United States after their parents were deported by the Donald Trump administration. Seven boys and girls have been "rescued from the kidnapping to which they were being subjected," Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said at Maiquetia International Airport that serves Caracas.

Cabello and First Lady Cilia Flores received the flight from Houston that also brought back 244 Venezuelans. Official figures show that since February, more than 8,200 people, including many children, have been repatriated to Venezuela from the United States and Mexico.
