US Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens quietly traveled to Venezuela this week, a State Department spokesperson confirmed to CNN.
Carstens traveled to the capital city of Caracas for “discussions about the welfare and safety of US nationals wrongfully detained in Venezuela,” the spokesperson said. “We continue to advocate for the immediate and unconditional release of all wrongfully detained US nationals in Venezuela at every opportunity,” they said. There are four Americans known to be detained in Venezuela: Eyvin Hernandez and Jerrel Kenemore, who have been declared wrongfully detained, and Luke Denman and Airan Berry.
She said her brother has bipolar disorder and has not been able to get proper medications, and that he also suffered from a traumatic brain injury. Tillery told CNN that the US is “signing his death warrant” by not securing Kenemore’s release. Carstens told CNN in an exclusive interview late November that the US has “an ongoing conversation with the other side” following the release of a number of other Americans from Venezuela.
