The Maduro regime in Venezuela released an American journalist and his local colleague on Mar. 6, after they spent more than 12 hours in custody in a move that drew further international condemnation of the socialist dictatorship.

Cody Weddle is currently at an airport and is headed for Miami, his mother told CNN.
