Venezuelans would get deported from the US to Mexico, usually Chiapas, and they were then given 24 hours to get out of the country (Guatemala is a short distance away). A lot of them would stay in Mexico working illegally and bribing immigration authorities until they could cross again, while others are still there working illegally.

My guess is this is some sort of negotiating tactic wrt Trump’s upcoming tariff proposals.
