Over 100 US-Deported Venezuelans Missing After Earthquakes Struck Hours After Their Arrival

Hindustan Times—More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the United States were killed or remain missing after devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela within hours of their arrival. The twin quakes hit La Guaira, a coastal state near Caracas, with Mexican Army rescue teams searching collapsed buildings for survivors. Angry Venezuelans accused their government of criminal negligence and a dangerously slow response, with some cities seeing long delays before official rescue operations began. The timing of the deportation flight drew international attention to the plight of the returnees caught in the disaster.
