The first flight carrying Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States lands in Venezuela, after the two governments reached an agreement to resume repatriation flights.

Trump argued Venezuelan terrorists were invading the U.S., but the appeals court ruled the Alien Enemies Act applies to a military invasion.
