Cinthya Medrano García, popularly known on social media as "La Cintumbare," is currently in the custody of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a processing center in Karnes, Texas.

According to what was revealed in a phone call, she is facing a deportation process to Cuba that could be finalized this Thursday or Friday, reported América TeVé.

“I have been detained since Saturday afternoon. I have been informed that there is a 98% chance I will be deported to Cuba,” declared Medrano, using a sarcastic tone to address her detractors: “I hope you enjoy it, I hope you relish it.”

Capture by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

The news of her arrest has sparked numerous reactions on social media, where “La Cintumbare” is known for her statements and public confrontations.

Among the most notable controversies is a petition led by the Cuban singer Dianelys Alfonso Cartaya, known as La Diosa, which called for her deportation through Change.org.

This initiative, which gathered more than 6,000 signatures, questioned Medrano's continued presence in the United States, pointing out that the influencer supported the Cuban regime while living in the North American country, the cited media outlet emphasized.

"They say they love the president of Cuba, a dictator. He does not deserve the support of this country and mocks those who have faced repression and misery," argued La Diosa in the text of the petition.

The conflict between the two intensified when "La Cintumbare" accused La Diosa's husband, music producer Reinier Miguélez (Rey El Mago), of abusing her oldest son, Axel, which led to a lawsuit against him by the singer.

Since her detention, the influencer's team has shared details via Instagram, while "La Cintumbare" claims that, once in Cuba, she will reveal more information about her situation.

"When I arrive in Cuba, I will provide all the details about what happened," he stated, according to América TeVé.

The potential deportation of La Cintumbare continues to divide opinions: while some believe it is the logical outcome of her actions and statements, others consider the impact of this situation on her personal and professional life.
