Nearly 180 migrants were repatriated back to Venezuela from the U.S. on Thursday, following stricter immigration policies implemented by the Trump administration, which includes the deportation of alleged gang members to El Salvador.

Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello asserted that none of the returnees who landed in Caracas belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang, the supposed target of the deportations, and expressed demands for the U.S. to repatriate women and children as well.

This marks the twelfth repatriation flight since an agreement between the U.S. and the Maduro government earlier this year.

Meanwhile, families of detained Venezuelan migrants in El Salvador protested outside the UN office in Caracas, pleading for information and the release of their loved ones, who they claim are not criminals.

"I want to speak respectfully to President Trump and Bukele, with humility, but I do want to ask with my heart in my hands for them to give us back our children," said the mother of a Venezuelan migrant detained in El Salvador, Mirelis Cacique Lopez.
