Cubans: Deportation Orders and Immigration Officials

cubans: The change was part of a thaw in relations with Cuba, which also agreed to start accepting the return of more of its people who get deported, according to Metro News. Now some Cubans have been detained at routine appointments with immigration officials, and many more fear they could be imperiled by old deportation orders or caught up in the increased arrests of non-citizens pursued by President Donald Trump's administration. They feel betrayed by former President Barack Obama's administration, which in its waning days stripped away a nearly automatic path to citizenship that had been offered since the 1960s to Cubans who arrived on U.S. soil, even those who showed up without a visa. I wasn't prepared for any of this. I don't know what is going to happen. How could I have seen this coming said Maykel Vargas, a Cuban who spent three months in detention after immigration officials took him into custody when he was trying to renew a temporary document.
