From Breitbart: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Tuesday that the five Venezuelan dissidents trapped in the shut down Argentine embassy in Caracas for 14 months were rescued in a “precise operation” and are now on U.S. soil.
“The U.S. welcomes the successful rescue of all hostages held by the Maduro regime at the Argentinian Embassy in Caracas,” Rubio said. “Following a precise operation, all hostages are now safely on U.S. soil. Maduro’s illegitimate regime has undermined Venezuela’s institutions, violated human rights, and endangered our regional security.”
“We extend our gratitude to all personnel involved in this operation and to our partners who assisted in securing the safe liberation of these Venezuelan heroes,” the secretary of state added.
The report identifies the five Venezuelan dissidents as Pedro Urruchurtu, Magallí Meda, Claudia Macero, Humberto Villalobos, and Ómar González. They are close associates of María Corina Machado, who leads Venezuela’s only mainstream center-right party, Vente Venezuela, and all five had sought shelter in the Argentine embassy in March 2024 after Venezuelan authorities issued arrest warrants.

Journalist Laura Loomer demanded, “Wait, why is @marcorubio bringing Venezuelan citizens to the United States while the United States is moving Venezuelans back to Venezuela? Does this mean we are now reneging on Trump’s reneging of TPS? I believe we call this amnesty. Amnesty is not America First policy.”
