Six Americans who had been detained in Venezuela in recent months were freed by the government of President Nicolás Maduro after he met Friday with a Trump administration official tasked with urging the authoritarian leader to take back deported migrants who have committed crimes in the United States.

Richard Grenell, the envoy for special missions, said he was flying home with the detainees after he met with President Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuelans in South Florida and across the country expressed outrage, fear and uncertainty Saturday after President Donald Trump announced Venezuela will take back its nationals deported from the United States.
