The cases of a woman and a young Cuban with I-220B (Order of Supervision and Deportation) who have been recently detained when attending their immigration appointment and were placed under the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city of Miramar, in Broward County, for a possible deportation to Cuba, have raised alarms among other Cubans with the same condition.
Based on these revelations, new stories have been told by the television network Telemundo 51, which has been following the case.
One of them is Llamiris Gámez, who was detained by immigration authorities while she was on her way to work, her daughter recalled to the television station.
It was on June 17th when ICE agents showed up at his home to proceed with his arrest.
She has a Master's Degree, holds Cambridge qualifications, speaks fluent English, and is a professional," the daughter mentions, indicating that they are the type of professional that the regime needs.
Another case that has come to light is that of Susete, a Cuban who was a resident in the United States and spent more than six months out of the country.
"He took longer than the specified time to re-enter the country. They detained him at the airport, revoked his residency, and at that moment, they transferred him to the Detention Center," his mother told Telemundo.
A few days ago, the case of Lisván Isidrón Cabrera, 26 years old, who entered the United States in March 2021 through the borders, was known. He was granted credible fear but lost his political asylum case before immigration authorities.
When attending his last immigration appointment, he was detained by ICE agents.
"He doesn't have anyone, he only has me and his brother. We don't have anyone in Cuba. I don't know what would happen if they sent him back there," said his mother, Mirielzi Cabrera.
Days later, Yoselianys Rodríguez was placed in the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city of Miramar.
Married to a doctor, also originally from the island, who abandoned a mission in Venezuela and is a U.S. citizen, Yoselianys faces the danger of being deported to the island.
"In order for a Cuban to be deported, they have to be accepted by Cuba," said immigration lawyer Antonio Ramos, who emphasizes a concern about this new trend in ICE practice.
Opinion with which Rosaly Chaviano, the lawyer handling Lisván's case, agreed a few days ago.
"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," he pointed out.
Chaviano also pointed out that they have observed a pattern in these types 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 deported recently, the years they have entered, and the ages, is what is leading us to understand," he noted.
In a desperate attempt to avoid being returned to Cuba, where they end up harassed by the regime's police and without work opportunities, Cuban migrants and their relatives have staged protests to demand an end to deportations and to request regularization for those who obtained an I-220A form upon entering the United States.
Last month, the United States government carried out its fifteenth deportation flight to Cuba, in which 56 Cuban immigrants were returned.
There have been 48 repatriation operations, involving 744 people from different countries in the region, by both air and sea, the Ministry of the Interior (MININT) in X added.
