In this 2023 photo provided by Maria Elena Machado, Lt. Pedro Naranjo , appears with his father, retired Gen. Pedro Naranjo in Colombia. The son of a prominent opponent of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro has been arrested after being deported by the U.S. in what migration experts say was a perfectly foreseeable outcome of the Biden administration’s push to discourage asylum seekers from the turbulent South American nation. Retired Gen. Pedro Naranjo, in an interview from a migration detention center in Texas, said his son—like him a helicopter pilot in Venezuela’s Air Force—played no role in the 2018 barracks conspiracy for which he spent more than three years in jail.
