Nearly 200 Venezuelan immigrants to the U.S. were returned to their home country after being detained at Guantanamo Bay, in a flurry of flights that forged an unprecedented pathway for U.S. deportations.

DHS said Venezuelan migrants who had been detained at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Station have been flown to Honduras and will be transferred next to Venezuela.

The Trump administration says 51 of the 178 Venezuelan nationals taken to Guantanamo Bay have been designated as "low-threat illegal aliens."
