April 25 (UPI) -- Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido arrived in Miami Tuesday after he was deported by Colombian authorities who said he crossed their border illegally to attend a conference on Venezuela in the country.

Upon his arrival at Miami International Airport, Guaido expressed concern about the safety of his loved ones and supporters as he seemed to have lost the support of the Colombian government.

"I am very worried about my family and my work team because they have already seen the consequences of a dictatorship," Guaido he said. "They have been tortured, persecuted and at this moment directly threatened, not only against Fabiana but also against my family directly."

Guaido had previously been viewed by the United States and several other nations, including Colombia, as Venezuela's leader after he was sworn in as leader of the National Assembly in January 2020 after lawmakers loyal to President Nicolas Maduro elected their own candidate.
