On a recent August day, a bus carrying 41 migrants from Arizona arrived at a Christian² religious center in Washington's Capitol Hill neighborhood.

It will hear from other aid groups that a bus carrying a certain number of people has left Texas.

At some point 48 hours later, that bus drops off riders at Washington's Union Station.

The United States does not recognize the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

The lack of official recognition makes it more difficult for the country to take back asylum-seekers from the U.S.

由于缺乏正式承认，从美国撤回该国的寻求庇护者变得更加困难。

The Mexican government also refuses to accept the migrants, which leaves the U.S. few ways to handle Venezuelan migrants.
