While some expressed gratitude towards President Trump, others worried about potential deportation policies. In Jackson Heights, Queens, residents at a Venezuelan restaurant also discussed the news, with some expressing hope for a return to their homeland. The reactions highlight the complex and uncertain future faced by Venezuelan migrants in the U.S., particularly after Trump's return to power and his policies targeting asylum seekers.
