Cuban Mario de León Díaz, with immigration document I-220B who had been detained by ICE and faced the threat of deportation to Cuba, was released this Saturday, the channel reported. Telemundo 51.
“He called me and told me that they were going to release him, that they were going to release him,” said Marien Acosta, the 26-year-old migrant’s wife, in statements to the news channel.
She explained that the family has been living through terrible anguish in recent days and feels that this release has transformed their lives: “My life has automatically changed,” said the woman, who is four months pregnant.
The family’s attorney, Eduardo Soto, filed a lawsuit requesting emergency parole, citing the delicate situation of his pregnant wife.
“You no longer have to appear for the immigration appointment, we’ve taken that off your plate,” the young woman added.
The woman had begged three days ago that They will release her husband and prevented the separation of their families.
Leon Diaz faced a deportation order for having an I-220B document and not having passed the credible fear interview at the United States border.
During what seemed like a routine appointment with ICE last week he was detained for having an Order of Supervision and Removal (I-220B).
This Friday the U.S. deported to Cuba a group of 54 irregular migrants on a flight that landed at José Martí International Airport on July 18.
According to the Ministry of the Interior (MININT), the group was made up of 40 men and 14 women. Most of these people had left Cuba legally, but then took irregular routes to reach the US border.
