Relatives of three Cubans with I-220B who are at the Broward Transitional Center about to be deported to the island are pleading for help, for an opportunity that would allow their loved ones to remain in U.S. territory.
The initial flight to deport Lisván Isidrón Cabrera, Jesús Navarro, and Delys Oscar Legón was supposed to leave on August 22, but it was canceled, and it is unknown when ICE will reschedule it.
In statements to Telemundo 51, Julia Lozada explained that her husband of 28 years, Jesús Navarro, lost his political asylum case in 2019 and has not been able to adjust his immigration status through his partner due to having an I-220B.
Lozada explained that her lawyers filed a motion to reopen the case and that with that document, she cannot be deported because she is in a process.
The lawyers have made requests since March 5; they submitted a request for the wife, but it says that the authorities have not looked at that file. "What I want is for him to come home [...] My dad is an honest person, and his dream is to become an American citizen," said the couple's daughter.
The other case is that of Delys Oscar Legón, 56 years old, who was detained on July 10 during a follow-up visit with ICE.
His wife, Diana Ayestas, claims that they have tried everything in the courts, and she insists that deporting her husband at 56 years old would break both her life and his.
The third case is that of Lisván Isidrón Cabrera, 26 years old, and whose mother claims that the young man has no one to receive him on the island.
"What life can that child expect in Cuba? At what point did Cuba investigate where that child will go when arriving at the airport in Havana?" questioned Mirielzi Cabrera, the young man's mother.
For the moment, these three families are anxiously witnessing what seems to be an imminent deportation of their loved ones, which they don't know how to stop.
