Greenil did not mention the men in the picture or say why they were detained. Four men wearing blue clothes consistent with those who are worn by prisoners in the Venezuelan prison system.
The newly released Americans spoke with the president while they were at his home.
We were just informed that we are returning six hostages to the home from Venezuela. Thanks for your Greenil and my employees completely. Wonderful work!

The total number of Americans detained in Venezuela is unknown. Venezuelan officials publicly spoke about nine, most of whom are accused of conspiring with the United States to commit terrorism. Historically, the information from Venezuelan officials is not exactly what you call reliable.
In 2023, the Biden Administration negotiated the launch of ten Americans in exchange for Alex SABB, an alleged financier of Maduro, who was waiting for trial in the United States for money laundering.
A special envoy for Latin America, Mauricio Claveron, said earlier on Friday that there would be no negotiation to issue American hostages.
“American hostages detained in Venezuela … immediately,” said Mauricio Clavoron, the US special envoy to Latin America. anything.”
Cloor Karon also stated that the deportation of TDA members was not negotiable.
Last week, the Venezuelan public prosecutor seemed ready to cooperate.
Venezuelan Prosecutor Trek SABB said last week that the gang was dismantled in Venezuela in 2023, but was ready to restore legal cooperation with the United States to hand over the gang members.
President Trump indicated that if Venezuela refuses to cooperate with deportation, the United States may stop buying oil from it, which will be devastating to the Venezuelan economy.
All smiles on the plane!

The Americans, who were mainly political prisoners returned home. It is now time to send members of the TDA gang, who are in America illegally, to where they came.
