There was no need to deport him

Isn't "the US demanded it" the need? If the oil thing can be explained by the US being a bully and venezuela being too weak, then why not this as well?

Maybe i misunderstood something.

Well, you are right that this could be explained by what you wrote. Maybe, it is just that it leaves a bitter taste.
