The Venezuelan authorities have advised their people not to travel to the United States, and they are urgently asking those who reside there to depart right away.
In a travel warning released through aTelegram video on Sunday, the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs advised its citizens to "safeguard themselves and their loved ones' lives and come back to their home country."
It portrayed the United States as a "risky nation where immigrant human rights are non-existent."
"The American dream does not exist there; instead, there are only nightmares. It is our responsibility to expose this truth and advocate for the dignity of our fellow citizens," the ministry stated.
Foreign Minister Yván Gil asserted that being a Latino, African descendant, or Venezuelan migrant in the United States poses significant risks. He stated, "Police often open fire before attempting to inquire about the situation."
In highlighting the US' mistreatment of immigrants, Caracas pointed to the instance where numerous migrants were sent back to a high-security penitentiary in El Salvador earlier this year.
Venezuela claims that the deportees are enduring "inhumane conditions" and are experiencing "psychological torment."
The travel advisory for Caracas was released following a similar warning from the U.S. government last Tuesday, which advised American citizens against visiting Venezuela under any circumstances and urged those present to depart promptly due to the significant danger of random detentions.
The US State Department issued a statement highlighting "significant dangers" related to unfair arrests, criminal violence, and social instability in the Latin American nation.
As stated in the official document, Venezuela leads as the nation with the greatest amount of US citizens wrongfully imprisoned.
The United States doesn't maintain an embassy or consulate in Venezuela, which means it can't provide consular aid to Americans in the country.
The previous year, Venezuela’s autocratic ruler Nicolás Maduro suppressed large-scale demonstrations after an contentious electoral win, with global observers alleging severe human rights violations under his government.
