MARACAY, Venezuela (AP) — After months on the move through jungles, seas and borders, Venezuelan migrants Mariela Gómez, her partner Abraham Castro and her two children, abandoned their attempt to reach the United States. They returned to spend Christmas back home, part of a growing wave of reverse migration driven by Trump’s crackdown, as U.S. pressure on the government of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro intensifies.
