Families in Venezuela are searching for loved ones who were deported from the US and arrived in the country just hours before earthquakes hit. The deportees were being processed in the coastal state of La Guaira at the time.

Some families have already confirmed that their loved ones are dead, while others are still trying to locate them. The Hotel Santuario La Llanada was the location where the deportees were being processed.

Further details on the situation are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, including the latest on the missing deportees and the families affected by the earthquakes.
