A clear message to self-deport


Cuban immigrants from Florida are being deported to the Central African Republic under the Trump administration's controversial "third-country" removal policy, where they are sent to nations with no ties to their origin. 36 deportees, including Yasmany Moreno (32), Arístides Fernández (37), and Daniel Fuentes (31), were flown on a 21-hour flight from Texas in July 2026 and are currently stranded in Bangui without passports, legal status, or clear next steps.

Key Details​

  • Stranded Conditions: The group is staying at a modest hotel, Maison Confort, with African authorities warning they may be evicted within 90 days. They report feeling "forgotten," with no ability to seek asylum or return home.
  • Government Stance: ICE stated it is using "all lawful options" for the "largest deportation operation in history" and is no longer responsible for individuals once released from custody. The Department of State warns against travel to the Central African Republic due to unrest, crime, and terrorism.
  • Broader Context: Internal documents show over 100 deportees from Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other nations were sent to eight African countries (including Burundi, Cameroon, and Liberia) in a 10-day period. Between October 2025 and June 2026, over 4,000 Cubans received deportation orders in Florida alone.
  • Legal & Human Rights Concerns: Immigration attorneys and Amnesty International criticize the policy as a "clear abuse of humanitarian rights" and "severe due process abuse," noting the lack of asylum mechanisms and safety risks in the destination countries.

Not to be crude but some Cubans look black. Some even identify that way to make things easier here in the States. Dominicans are the same way. There are some "white" and some "black" Dominicans.

As far as Cuba itself goes, as I understand it, goes back and forth on accepting deportees.
 
Also, the country is LIBERIA. Lincoln had created a plan to repatriate slaves to after the Civil War, regardless if they wanted to go or not.

Here is what Liberia started out being, the irony is strong:

Liberia was founded by free people of color from the United States through the American Colonization Society (ACS), which organized and funded the settlement beginning in 1820.

 
The Cuban government is STILL headed by Castro. He's been long dead for many years, but his spirit - and animosity to the US remains.

Except for Baseball. Fidel Castro and Baseball – Society for American Baseball Research

One expects Cuba is rejecting ANYONE who jumps the fence seeking a fly ball and succeeds, and views them as "another useless mouth to maintain." Which they may well be. In general and hallmark of a socialist/communist society, those of value are "feted" like a winning left handed pitcher. And these winners would be unlikely to leave for a bat boy position in the US.

The socialist strike outs not so much.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

The title including the word 'immigrants' leads one to think that these illegal, international felons were attempting to gain citizenship by lawfully and legally entering the country and following the legal procedures to gain said citizenship, and then boom! then were somehow deported.

Not the case. They entered the US illegally, that does not make them immigrants. It makes them federal felons. too bad, so sad they were deported. They caused the problem by illegally crossing the border. Doesn't make any difference if they used a boat or walked, they still crossed the border illegally.

I haven't met a Fed since the 1980's.

They didn't ask for my ID, and I didn't offer it.

I was at a friend's place, we were cleaning up for a party.
The FIB guys knocked on the apartment door (I didn't ask how they bypassed the lock on the  main door to the building).

I answered, and let my friend know that he had some visitors.

I had just slid the latest issue of High Times magazine under the sofa, after putting the bong away behind bro's nightstand.

There were never any charges, just much misunderstanding about a missing record collection. PM me if you really want the entire soap opera.

It's also in my dossier if you have access to it.
(:lkick: Love you guys.)



I had no idea I'd end up here in 2026.
Breaking way more rules...
 
I love the "stranded without passports" part.
They didn't use passport to get here, so of course they don't have passports.

Stupid should hurt. I think this is hilarious. I hope the press covers their misery so intensely that more illegals will self deport before getting a "free flight to the dark continent".

FYI, when they arrive here, for example, over the Rio Grande, if they have their passport, it is confiscated. I presume the deported ones are proven bad guys. Russia, BTW is doing the same thing to Cubans who arrive there, lured by scam offers of nonexistent jobs.

Did you mean gimp suits or LP's?

Lol.
I never did the dress up thing - but I kept all my records from the 1980's.

DD has an incredibly diverse taste in music, and requested a turntable last Christmas.
Once she opened the gift, I went down to the basement and brought up the crate full.
So many memories, good and bad.

She was finally able to hear all the 'missing pieces.'
The digital revolution destroyed the sound recording industry...

If you care about your deportation destination, set it up yourself.
 
i used to be with Cubans once they were feet dry they got a legal status i think obama change all that
I believe that is correct. The US position for YEARS was that those who "escape" the island nation deserve a reprieve - and the possibility of a new life in the US. This sort of a then "poke in the eye" to the "Russian Satellite Nation" that Cuba had become under Castro.

Obama though is a Marxist through and through. And set the US into a policy of "returning" Cuban ex-patriots supposedly "In the interest of improved cooperation between the two nations." Obama's Cuba policy was pictured similarly to the Chinese national policy where we'll "bring them forward into Democracy" through (apparently) our national success - which can be theirs if they follow our model.

Neither China nor Cuba did. And Obama took his comfort in doing his part to support the Cuban Marxist Regime.
