Re­lief! Ex­cit­ed mi­grants ea­ger to re­turn to Venezuela

Venezue­lans liv­ing in Trinidad and To­ba­go yes­ter­day ex­pressed a mix­ture of joy, re­lief, and ap­pre­hen­sion fol­low­ing the ar­rest of the coun­try’s Pres­i­dent Nico­las Maduro by Unit­ed States forces.

For Rose and many of her fel­low coun­try­men, the news — which broke in the ear­ly hours of the morn­ing — was a long-await­ed mo­ment of hope af­ter years of what they called op­pres­sion and un­cer­tain­ty.
