More than 200 Venezuelan immigrants whom the Trump administration had sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador have been flown to Venezuela.

The move, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said in a post on X, was part of a prisoner swap in which the Venezuelan government agreed to release Venezuelan political prisoners and "all the American citizens it was holding as hostages" in exchange for the Venezuelan nationals who had been detained in El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT.
