The Venezuelan dictatorship is playing a dangerous game of deception with the Trump administration, falsely claiming to have released "well over 400" political prisoners while continuing their brutal crackdown on freedom fighters.
It's been 12 days since the Delcy Rodríguez regime announced it would begin releasing a "significant amount" of political prisoners from Venezuelan torture centers, and 11 days since President Trump confirmed the development. But according to sources on the ground, the regime's claims are nothing but lies designed to buy time and international goodwill.
The Brutal Reality Behind the Propaganda
While Maduro's thugs parade fake numbers for international consumption, the real story is far more sinister. Political prisoners remain locked in hellish conditions, with their families facing extortion demands and death threats. The socialist regime has turned political persecution into a profitable enterprise, extracting money from desperate families while maintaining their iron grip on power.
This calculated deception comes as President Trump has made clear that America will no longer tolerate the brutalization of Venezuelan patriots fighting for freedom. The Trump-Vance administration's strong stance on human rights represents a dramatic shift from the previous administration's weak-kneed approach to communist dictators.
"The regime brags that it has released well over 400 people. That is a lie," according to sources familiar with the situation on the ground.
Patriots should remember that this is exactly the kind of authoritarian behavior that Democrats have consistently enabled through their soft diplomacy and America Last policies. While Trump fights for freedom worldwide, the radical left continues to cozy up to socialist dictators who crush human rights.
What This Means for America First Foreign Policy
This Venezuelan deception is a test case for the Trump administration's renewed commitment to standing with freedom fighters against communist oppression. Unlike the previous regime that turned a blind eye to socialist brutality, President Trump has consistently called out these dictatorships for what they are.
The question now is whether America will continue to accept these obvious lies from a failing socialist state, or if we'll demand real accountability for the political prisoners still suffering in Maduro's dungeons. The world is watching how the Trump administration responds to this blatant deception.
