The White House on Saturday announced that Venezuela had freed seven U.S. prisoners in exchange for two Venezuelans who are relatives of Nicolas Maduro's wife.
President Biden was Tuesday asked about why migrants have surged across the U.S.-Mexico border during his administration.
"Today, after years of being wrongfully detained in Venezuela, we are bringing home Jorge Toledo, Tomeu Vadell, Alirio Zambrano, Jose Luis Zambrano, Jose Pereira, Matthew Heath, and Osman Khan,"in a statement."These individuals will soon be reunited with their families and back in the arms of their loved ones where they belong."
Also freed were Heath, a former U.S. Marine corporal arrested on weapons charges at a roadblock, and Khan, who was arrested this year. The U.S., meanwhile, released two nephews of Cilia Flores, Maduro’s spouse, who were arrested in Haiti in a drug sting and accused of trying to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. Nicknamed the"narco nephews," they were convicted in New York in 2017. Biden granted them clemency before they were released.
