State Secretary Marco Rubio announced the return of 10 Americans detained in Venezuela

The state secretary said on Friday that ten Americans were returning to the US after being released from custody in Venezuela.

“Thanks to the President [Donald] Trump’s leadership and commitment to American people, the United States welcomes ten Americans detained in Venezuela, “State Secretary Marco Rubio said in a statement.” To date, more Americans were wrongly held in Venezuela compared to any other country in the world. It is unacceptable that representatives of the Venezuela rule arrested American citizens and put them in jail under highly suspicious circumstances and without appropriate procedure. The American, every wrongly detained in Venezuela, is now independent and back in our motherland. ,

Rubio also thanked the State Department, Inter-agency partners and President of Al Salvador Naib Bokele.

He said, “Our commitment to American people is clear: we will protect the good of American citizens at home and abroad and will not rest until all Americans are hostage or unjustly detained worldwide,” he said.

He said that the US also welcomes the release of “Venezuela’s political prisoners and prisoners, which were also released from Venezuela jails. The Trump administration continues to support the restoration of democracy in Venezuela. The rule of unjust custody should be used as a tool of political repression.

The release is part of a prisoner swap, in which Bokele agreed to release hundreds of Venezuela’s Venezuela, which was being held in Maximum Safety Jail in Tekoluka, Al Salvador, in exchange for Salvadoron prisoners held in Venezuela.

Rubio remembers the top American diplomat from Colombia after ‘baseless’ statements from officials.

The US sent the people of Venezuela to the alleged train de Argu members in March through the 1798 Alien Enemy Act without undergoing immigration processes. Several deported families and lawyers refused gang connections.

Bukele said, “Today, we have handed over to all Venezuela citizens detained in our country, who are accused of being part of the Criminal Organization Train D Argu (TDA).” “Many of them face several allegations of murder, robbery, rape and other serious crimes.”

Bukele said that “Operation is a result of the months of conversation with a tyrannical regime, which refused to release one of its long -standing bargaining chips: its hostage. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of several officers of both the United States and L Salvador, and above, and above, which was left out.”

Christian Castina, whose brother Willabert, a navy seal, was arrested last year in a Karakas Hotel room, said in a statement, “We have prayed for about a year for this day. My brother is an innocent person used as a political pawn by Maduro regime.”
