Pastor's Son Faces Deportation Despite Refugee Claims
A Cuban national detained in the United States risks deportation to Cuba after his permanent residency application was denied. An NGO argues he is a genuine refugee because his father, a pastor, has faced decades of persecution by Cuban authorities. The group states that returning him would expose him to forced military service or imprisonment, citing threats made against his family in a city in Cuba. According to the outlet, the young man has no criminal record and plans to join the US Marines. The case highlights tensions between US immigration enforcement and claims of religious persecution.
