The United States conducted a high-profile seizure of an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, claiming it was transporting sanctioned oil linked to terrorism. This operation forms part of a broader US pressure campaign against Nicolás Maduro's government, intensifying the geopolitical conflict over Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. Responses from Venezuelan officials label the act as 'international piracy,' adding layers of tension to an already fraught bilateral relationship.

Critics argue that the program favors affluent individuals over ordinary immigrants, posing questions about equity in immigration policy.
