The journalists were detained and held incommunicado for nearly 24 hours on Sunday, Aug. 25, at Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, La Guaira state, and subsequently declared 'inadmissible' by Venezuelan authorities.

Navarro maintained that both were deported to Mexico via Panama under the argument that journalistic activities are not authorized in Venezuela."
