In a shocking display of desperation, Diosdado Cabello, the second-in-command of Nicolás Maduro’s regime, broke down in tears during a live press conference, pleading for international help as the U.S. government prepares to deport hundreds of alleged members of the Aragua Train gang to El Salvador. The emotional outburst highlights the regime’s increasing panic over the fate of Venezuelan migrants, whom Cabello claims are being unjustly targeted by the U.S. under a controversial “enemy aliens” law.
For 45 agonizing minutes, Cabello accused former President Donald Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele of colluding to criminalize Venezuelans, lamenting the lack of response from the United Nations. His tears flowed as he demanded respect for migrants, insisting that migration is not a crime and that the world must intervene. “Where is the UN? Where is the support?” he cried, desperately seeking to shift blame away from his government’s failures.
As tensions escalate, the U.S. has reportedly allocated $6 million to El Salvador to imprison 300 supposed members of the Aragua Train, a move that Cabello condemned as a blatant lie and an act of fascism. “This is a political game,” he charged, asserting that the U.S. is using Venezuelans as scapegoats for its own immigration issues.
The situation is dire, with Cabello’s emotional plea underscoring the regime’s fear of losing control as international scrutiny intensifies. As deportations loom, the Venezuelan government finds itself increasingly isolated, grappling with the consequences of its own oppressive policies. The world watches closely as the crisis unfolds, raising questions about the future of Venezuelan migrants and the stability of the Maduro regime.
