A Cuban with I-220B status (supervision and deportation order), detained by the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), faces the threat of deportation, which would leave his pregnant wife and two young children in the United States.
The influencer Dairon Cano (@dairon_cano_champions) requested help this Sunday on TikTok for this family, arguing that the Cuban father, detained since June 7, is the support for his pregnant wife and two children.
"My husband was detained by ICE because he has an I-220B, and every month they are deporting people. We submitted the documents, they were denied, and we don't know what is going to happen to him," said the Cuban woman.
The woman explained that they live in an apartment belonging to some friends of her husband, who have helped them on several occasions.
"Please, let's help this pregnant mother, who is alone with her two children," implored the tiktoker, who explained that the woman has tried to contact several influencers, such as Alexander Otaola, Ultrack, Pollito Tropical, and even Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, without receiving a response or support from any of them.
Cano pointed out that it is not fair for ICE to have detained her husband, “I call on immigration to do their job fairly.”
The ICE in Miramar summoned the Cuban to appear for an appointment on June 7, at which time he was detained despite having an I-220B and no police record.
"He is a father and his family depends on him, please let's help this mother," finally pointed out the influencer Cano, who said he felt moved by the hardships this family is facing.
In recent months, several Cubans with I-220B immigration status have been detained by ICE in the United States.
That is the case of Yoselianys Rodríguez, who was detained last July during a migration appointment and was placed in the custody of ICE in the city of Miramar, in Broward County, for possible deportation to Cuba.
She is married to a doctor, also from the island, who left a mission in Venezuela and is a U.S. citizen.
Vivian Pérez, mother of an autistic child and a resident of the United States for the past four years, was arrested last July and detained at the Pompano Beach Detention Center in Broward County. Now, she faces the threat of being deported to Cuba, according to her relatives' reports.
The recent cases of a woman and a young Cuban with I-220B, who were detained after attending their immigration appointment in Miramar, Broward County, and were placed in ICE custody for possible deportation to Cuba, have raised concerns among other Cubans in the same situation.
To date, 16 deportation flights have been carried out from the United States to Cuba, in which a total of 768 people have been returned to the island from which they managed to escape.
The latest one transported a group of 54 irregular migrants, which landed at José Martí International Airport on July 18th.
According to the Ministry of the Interior (MININT), the group consisted of 40 men and 14 women. Most of these people had legally left Cuba, but then they joined irregular routes to reach the U.S. border.
Previously, during President Joe Biden's administration, a total of 714 people had been deported to Cuba on flight 15, reported Café Fuerte.
During previous administrations, the highest number of Cubans deported on ICE charter flights corresponds to Donald Trump, with a historic record of 3,385; Barack Obama sent 341 Cubans in these operations, and George W. Bush, 416.
