00:37plan.

00:38This is, the plan is landing, we are waiting for the descendants of the migrants.

00:52The arrival is another flight within the framework of the back to the homeland plan and the start

00:57of the fifth phase since the announcement earlier this year of the government's commitment

01:02to the safe return of Venezuelan con-nationals amid the massive deportation campaigns being

01:09carried out by the US administration of Donald Trump.

01:16We listen now.

01:28In the flight that is arriving at this time, there are 208 passengers, 30 women, two children

01:44and 176 men.

01:50This is the second flight with an US aircraft.

01:55Yesterday we received two flights from Combiasa, our state, our airline.

02:08We have detected, thanks to the study of migratory authorities, that there are some

02:14people in this flight with a criminal record, but as soon as they arrive, they are going

02:20to be directed to be examined.

02:31So all the institutions involved in this plan are going to work to determine the procedures

02:44to move forward, to analyze the situation of every migrant, to give them the humanitarian

02:52support they deserve as part of the back to the homeland, return to the homeland plan,

02:59given by our president, Maduro.

03:05So we are going to receive these 208 con-nationals according to manual procedures to reinsert

03:18them afterwards in the country, in the activities of our society.

03:25So now we proceed to receive the migrants, and later we will give you a more precise

03:34explanation, a more precise report of these migrants.

03:41The process is going to start now through the structure of the return to the homeland

03:47plan to guarantee the correct and effective return of these migrants as established by

03:58the procedures.

04:09So we repeat again, we are witnessing the arrival of another flight within the framework

04:13of the back to the homeland plan, and the start of the fifth phase since the announcement

04:18early this year of the government's commitment to the safe return of Venezuelans con-nationals

04:24amid the massive deportation campaign being carried out by the US administration of Donald

04:28Trump.

04:29In this context, it is important to note the government of Venezuela has increased its

04:34efforts to ensure the return of Venezuelan migrants who are victims of the Trump administration

04:40migration policies, especially those who have been illegally sent to prison in El Salvador.

04:48This process is part of the back to the homeland plan, as we were reporting, a humanitarian

04:54effort of the government of Venezuela to repatriate Venezuelans who, after migrating in search

05:00of a better future in the United States, were deported and faced inhumane conditions.

05:07And now we are seeing the live images of the plane arriving at the airport, and this

05:15process is part of the back to the homeland plan.

05:23And we were live to the Simón Bolívar International Airport in the state of La Guayra, Venezuela,
