MIAMI — Cuba has agreed to begin accepting deportations from the United States, two U.S. officials said, in what they described as the resumption of decadeslong migration agreements between the two countries amid a historic exodus from the island.
No deportation flights have departed from the United States yet, the officials said. But the development comes as U.S. and Cuba officials were slated to meet in Havana Tuesday to discuss immigration matters, according to The Associated Press.
Earlier this month, Biden officials went to Cuba’s capital to talk about restarting visa services in full at the American embassy, as well as the recent restart of a program that had been paralyzed since the Trump administration that reunites Cubans on the island with relatives in the United States.
