U.S. Reaches Deal with Mexico to Expel Most Venezuelan Asylum Seekers
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration says it has reached a deal with Mexico that
will allow for 24,000 Venezuelan migrants with financial sponsors to
enter the U.S., while expelling others who don't meet the economic
criteria or who cross the border outside of a port of entry. The U.S.
will expel those migrants to Mexico under the pandemic-era Title 42
program. This comes amid reports the Biden administration is preparing
to scale down sanctions on Venezuela to allow the Chevron Corporation to
resume pumping oil there.
