Unable To Deport Cubans, ICE Keeps Many Indefinitely Locked Up

Perez Hernandez, a Cuban immigrant, has been detained in the US for over a year despite volunteering for deportation. Due to COVID-19, Cuba closed its borders, preventing deportations. His prolonged detention raises legal and health concerns, as ICE has not released him despite a Supreme Court ruling that immigrants should be released after six months if deportation is unlikely. Hernandez has been transferred between multiple jails, worsening his health issues. Changes in US-Cuba immigration policies have complicated his case, with the Trump administration maintaining strict detention practices.
