The Cuban content creator Claudia Artiles, beloved by her followers for sharing her daily life as a mother of a child with Down syndrome and for her relationship with influencer Jorge Batista (Ultrack), shocked everyone by confessing that she is facing a deportation order in the United States.
During a live broadcast on TikTok, the young woman, who resides in Miami with her partner, answered questions about her immigration status with complete honesty. Artiles explained that she did not enter the country through political asylum, but rather with a three-month parole, and at that time she had a claim related to the father of her child. “I was married for paperwork purposes, and the attorneys of Marlon's father told me to wait a year and a day to apply for my residency under the Cuban Adjustment Act,” she recounted.
The influencer shared that, after that initial permit, her parole was extended for another year, and she then began to apply for residency. However, the process became complicated and she had to use an electronic ankle monitor, a measure applied to individuals under immigration supervision while their legal situation is being resolved.
In a live broadcast, Ultrack, always by your side, intervened with a question that left many pondering: “Are you sure that you have parole? Because most people who were granted parole have already received their residency.” Claudia, with a mix of resignation and honesty, responded: “Well, I haven't received it. Remember that I was given a deportation letter due to the court issue, that caused my delay. I arrived late to a hearing, and that can even lead to deportation.”
The moment triggered a wave of reactions on social media, where hundreds of Cubans in similar situations expressed empathy and support. Many recalled how easy it is to miss a migration appointment due to misinformation or communication errors, something that can change the course of an entire life.
Although the young mother did not specify the exact date of the hearing or the current status of her case, she continues to receive legal advice and maintains hope of resolving her situation. In the meantime, she remains active on social media, sharing her family routine and everyday moments with her son Marlon and her partner.
