Venezuela will resume accepting deportation flights from the US after Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro suspended the flights earlier this month.

Jorge Rodríguez, the president of Venezuela’s Assembly and chief negotiator with the U.S. announced the change in policy on Saturday.

“We have agreed with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants with an initial flight tomorrow, Sunday,” Rodriguez said.

He added that the deal with the U.S. secured the “return of our compatriots to their nation with the safeguard of their Human Rights.”

The Trump administration said that the Venezuelans sent to Guantanamo are members of Tren de Aragua.

Venezuela had long been a friendly oil-trading partner of the U.S. until Maduro’s leftist regime took root following the 1998 and 2000 elections under the rule of the late Hugo Chavez and foreign policy challenges arose.
