One of the main campaign promises of Donald Trump was the mass deportation of millions of illegal immigrants. The move, although not impossible, has serious logistical and legal challenges. One specific nation poses an additional difficulty: Venezuela. There are no formal diplomatic relations between Venezuela and the United States, so Venezuelan deportees cannot be sent back to their country.

On July 28, Venezuela will hold a presidential election amid suspicions of fraud among the opposition. The dictator, Nicolás Maduro, will face 74-year-old former diplomat Edmundo González. If the elections were fair, most studies point to a 20-25 percent advantage for González. Many believe that Maduro will steal the election or disqualify González at the last minute. So why do many in Venezuela still believe it’s worth putting up a fight? How Did We Get Here?

On Wednesday, April 25, Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s prime minister, announced that he was considering resigning. Sánchez, the Spanish head of government since 2018, said the reason behind this decision was that he was not sure whether it “was all worth it” because of the “media harassment” he had faced. The reason? His wife, Begoña Gómez, is being investigated by a Madrid court for traffic of influence. Next Monday, Sánchez would triumphally announce he would continue serving as head of government.

CARACAS, Venezuela (ViaNews) – “All options are on the table”. That phrase has turned into a mantra of US officials. Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, Marco Rubio, Elliot Abrams, and John Bolton repeat it almost on a daily basis.

Some weeks ago it seemed that Russia and China were preparing for a future in Venezuela without Maduro as president.

On December 10, 2023, Javier Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist, was sworn in as president of Argentina. Milei, best known for the hair that he claims is combed by Adam’s Smith invisible hand and an eccentric and irascible demeanor, promised to end the country’s economic woes—prevalent in the last 80 years but heightened in the last couple of decades—by launching a full-blown libertarian economic program of privatization, deregulation, and tight monetary policy.

On January 26, the Venezuelan judiciary made an unsurprising announcement.

In late October 2023, the Venezuelan opposition and the regime agreed to what in paper seemed a reasonable pact: The U.S. would lift some sanctions against the dictatorship, while the regime conceded guarantees for greater electoral freedoms in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections. President Biden had already lifted some sanctions in November 2022 to the Venezuelan regime’s oil and mining industry due to its alleged commitments to a free and fair election.

On August 9, Ecuador’s Fernando Villavicencio, an anti-corruption presidential candidate, was shot dead after a rally in the capital city of Quito. It was just ten days before the presidential election. The murder became the symbol of today’s Ecuador, a once-booming developing nation that has fallen into chaos due to a combination of political instability and the growing power of drug gangs linked to international cartels. This is a pivotal moment for Ecuador.
