Venezuela receives 7 kids left behind in US after parents deported
Seven boys and girls have been "rescued from the kidnapping to which they were being subjected," Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said at Maiquetia International Airport that serves Caracas. Cabello and First Lady Cilia Flores received the flight from Houston that also brought back 244 Venezuelans. Hundreds of people protested in Caracas last week demanding the return of at least 30 children the government says remained in the United States after their Venezuelan parents were expelled. Last month, parliamentary president Jorge Rodriguez said the children were "separated from their mothers, their fathers, their family, their grandparents" and "taken to institutions where they don't belong." Cabello said Friday the government was working hard "to bring the children back." He did not say when the seven were separated from their parents. Official figures show that since February, more than 8,200 people, including many children, have been repatriated to Venezuela from the United States and Mexico.

Costa Rica's top court calls for President Chaves to stand trial on corruption charges
SAN JOSE: Costa Rica's highest court on Tuesday (Jul 1) asked the country's legislature to strip President Rodrigo Chaves of his immunity from prosecution so he can stand trial on corruption charges. Costa Rica's attorney general's office in April alleged that members of Chaves' government awarded kickbacks to a top government ally using funds from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). In an extraordinary session, the court also requested Culture Minister Jorge Rodriguez, who previously acted as communication minister, stand trial in the same case. Costa Rica's National Assembly is controlled by opposition lawmakers. Chaves and Rodriguez face between two to eight years in prison if convicted. They both have denied the accusations. The attorney general's office said that a former presidential adviser was paid US$32,000 with funds awarded by CABEI.

Venezuelan lawmakers declare UN human rights chief persona non grata
Venezuela's National Assembly has voted to declare United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk persona non grata after he publicly criticised the government's human rights violations. The unanimous Tuesday declaration follows comments from Turk last week before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, condemning what he said were arbitrary detentions and forced disappearances. In remarks before the declaration, Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez accused Turk of turning a 'blind eye' to other rights abuses, such as the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants living in the United States to a detention facility in El Salvador. However, Turk released a statement expressing concern over those deportations in May, while his remarks about alleged abuses in Venezuela come at a time when numerous human rights organisations have condemned the Venezuelan authorities' crackdown on political opposition after a contested election last July. The declaration of Turk as persona non grata does not have an immediate impact, but the government could move to expel his office from the country, as has occurred in the past. Tensions have been high in Venezuela since President Nicolas Maduro declared victory in a 2024 presidential election, which the opposition has maintained was fraudulently stolen by the government. Human rights groups have said that the Maduro government oversaw a crackdown on dissent after the election, which left dozens dead. Police also arrested opposition lawmakers, whom the government accuses of collaborating with hostile foreign powers. A recent legislative and regional election saw lower turnout amid calls for a boycott from the opposition and fear of government repression. While the Maduro government has criticised the administration of US President Donald Trump for its mass deportation of immigrants living in the US, which has also drawn concern from human rights groups, Venezuela has been open to cooperation with the Trump administration on questions of immigration enforcement, agreeing to receive people deported from the US in March.

Venezuela accuses US of kidnapping 18 migrant children
CARACAS: Venezuela has accused the United States of 'kidnapping' 18 Venezuelan children whose migrant parents were either deported or detained without them. The claim was made by Parliament speaker Jorge Rodriguez, who stated the children, aged between 1 and 12, were separated from their families under unclear circumstances. Rodriguez asserted that the children were unlawfully taken by the US government and confirmed ongoing discussions with the Trump administration for their repatriation. 'These children have committed no crime, nor have their parents, who now suffer the cruel punishment of separation,' he said. Venezuela severed diplomatic ties with the US in 2019 but has continued accepting deportation flights. The latest accusation follows an April incident where Caracas claimed Washington abducted a toddler whose parents were deported separately—her mother to Venezuela and her father to a high-security prison in El Salvador. The US Department of Homeland Security defended its actions, stating the child was placed in foster care due to alleged parental ties to Venezuela's Tren de Aragua crime gang. The toddler was later returned in May. Additionally, Venezuela is advocating for over 200 migrants expelled from the US to El Salvador's CECOT prison, further straining bilateral relations.
