Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa Rejects Deportation of Venezuelans, Revokes Migratory Amnesty on March 11

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa announced on March 10, 2025, that the country will not accept deported migrants from other nationalities, specifically addressing the situation of Venezuelans. This decision came after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro stated that flights from the U.S. carrying deported Venezuelans had been affected. Noboa criticized Maduro's refusal to accept these deportees, describing it as a 'berrinche' or tantrum, and emphasized that Venezuela should take responsibility for its own citizens. Additionally, on March 11, Noboa revoked an executive decree that had previously granted migratory amnesty to Venezuelan citizens in Ecuador, raising concerns about the future of these migrants in the country.
