A Cuban stated in a video posted on TikTok that he left the United States by his own choice, following recent immigration changes implemented during Donald Trump's administration. The young man shared that his homeland, Cuba, did not accept him back, and he ended up living in Mexico "out of obligation."
The Cuban, identified on TikTok as @elpesao24, explained that he decided to leave the United States voluntarily, although he acknowledged that the tightening of immigration policies influenced his decision.
"This is the question everyone is asking: Did you leave the United States, where are you? Well, it has been almost three months since this situation began. I want to share that I was expelled from the United States; I wasn't deported, I left voluntarily," he recounted in the video.
The young man stated that, following Donald Trump's return to the presidency, there has been "a lot of commotion regarding migration" and that authorities are deporting those who do not have their documentation in order.
"Since Trump took office, there have been many upheavals regarding immigration. All the people who did not have their papers in order are being deported to their home country," she asserted.
He is currently living in Mexico, where he has been since October. As he explained, Cuba did not accept him as a citizen when he tried to return. “They gave me the option of Mexico, and that's why I came here. If it had been up to me, I would have gone to Uruguay, which is a country I know and where I have a lot of people who care about me,” he said.
The Cuban said that he shares his story "so everyone can know the reality," and closed his message with a thank you to his followers: "Health and blessings."
His testimony reflects the uncertainty experienced by many Cuban migrants in the United States in light of the strengthened immigration policies implemented by the Trump administration, as well as the Cuban regime's refusal to accept back nationals who left the country without official authorization.
