Biden administration officials will meet a Cuban delegation Thursday in Washington, D.C., to discuss a dramatic increase in migration from the island, a source with knowledge of the matter told the Miami Herald.
Cubans account for a large proportion of migrants recently reaching the U.S. border with Mexico, as more than 46,000 arrived just between October and February. The U.S. Coast Guard has also reported an increase in Cubans trying to reach U.S. shores.
But Cuban authorities have refused to accept deportations of its nationals from the U.S., Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.
