Venezuelan secret police detained journalists from Argentina's C5N television channel in Venezuela, interrogated them, searched their cell phones and deported them to Bolivia without suitcases or passports over the past 29 minutes ending at 4:16 p.m. UTC on Dec. 10, according to a post on X by @therealbuni. The X post stated the journalists had traveled to Venezuela to support President Nicolás Maduro when authorities caught, kidnapped and interrogated them before the deportation. This incident follows a pattern of restrictions on travel and detentions amid Venezuela's political crisis, including the earlier detention of Cardinal Baltazar Porras at MaiquetÃa International Airport on Dec. 10, where authorities annulled his passport, as reported by @iamGermania citing @Pontifex.
