A Cuban with an I-220B (Supervision and Deportation Order) was detained while attending a migration appointment and was placed in the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city of Miramar, in Broward County.
Lisván Isidrón Cabrera, 26 years old, is a Cuban immigrant who entered the United States in March 2021 through the borders. He won credible fear but lost his political asylum case before immigration authorities.
"He doesn't have anyone, he only has me and his brother. We don't have anyone in Cuba. I don't know what it would be like if they sent him there," said his mother Mirielzi Cabrera, in a tone of total distress to the television network Telemundo.
The young man, originally from the city of Cienfuegos, in these four years in the United States processed his work permit, and was currently working at an aquarium in Miami, in the maintenance area.
"We know of so many people who are in the United States with many years here who have very serious crimes and yet Cuba does not want them," pointed out the lawyer in the case Rosaly Chaviano, who filed a motion to stop this deportation.
Chaviano also pointed out that they have observed a pattern in this type of deportations, which is that the Caribbean island accepts young people who have recently arrived in the United States.
"We have not been officially told that this is a pattern, that they are doing it this way, simply based on what we have seen, the people who have been recently deported, the years they have entered, and their ages, is what is leading us to understand," he pointed out.
The case of Lisván is added to those of other Cubans who have had to go through the bitter moment of being detained in an ICE prison and facing possible deportation to Cuba.
Last year, Dachel Caballero, another Cuban with I-220B, was detained by ICE as soon as he arrived at the place where he would attend his immigration appointment.
Caballero had entered the United States illegally four years ago. He lived with his wife and young son.
Another case was that of Francy Pérez, a Cuban who arrived in the United States by sea in October 2022.
Pérez had been released on bail with an electronic ankle monitor, which requires him to regularly check in at ICE offices. He was arrested while attending one of his check-ins.
Luis Alberto Martinez, another Cuban in a similar situation, had better luck last year after the US government decided to temporarily suspend his extradition.
That is to say, my deportation has been postponed for a year, during which I have to continue the process I was doing with my lawyer, until I can, God willing, obtain residency," reported to journalist Eduardo Yusnaby Rodríguez from Telemundo 51.
At the end of June this year, a total of 56 Cuban migrants were deported by the United States government via air.
The group, made up of 12 women and 44 men, arrived at "José Martí" International Airport in Havana.
With this, there are a total of 48 return operations, involving 744 people from different countries in the region, both by air and sea.
