NPR: "Venezuelans deported from the U.S. were killed hours later in powerful quakes"

As reported yesterday, Venezuelan Americans have called for a halt to deportations to Venezuela. NPR reports that the U.S. government last week

"deported 146 Venezuelans from Texas to Caracas. Passengers on that plane, which included women and children, were being processed in a guarded hotel when two powerful earthquakes struck, according to family members. The hotel was reduced to rubble, and there are conflicting accounts of how many of the 146 deportees survived. It's unclear if the Trump administration will continue to deport Venezuelans post-earthquakes. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment from NPR."
