Venezuelan migrants trapped in Miami unable to leave U.S.
Mar 31, 2026 · Miami, FL, Venezuela

A group of Venezuelan migrants, including children and babies, are stranded in Miami after attempting to voluntarily leave the United States. Their travel documents were rejected by airlines at the airport, preventing them from boarding flights home. The situation stems from Venezuela having no operational consulates in the U.S., making it impossible for Venezuelan citizens to obtain or renew required travel documents like passports and safe-conducts from U.S. soil.
