Cuban immigration status legal challenges in the US
Overview
A legal battle is unfolding in the United States regarding the immigration status of approximately 500,000 to 600,000 Cubans. The litigation seeks to restore access to the Cuban Adjustment Act for individuals who entered the country following the 2017 termination of the “wet foot, dry foot” policy.
In Miami, Judge Jacqueline Becerra of the Southern District of Florida rejected a request from the Department of Homeland Security to dismiss the case, ruling that the court has jurisdiction to proceed. The lawsuit was initiated by a group of 992 Cubans who entered via the Mexican border and are seeking legal residency.
Despite this judicial development, Cuban immigrants face significant uncertainty due to policy shifts under the second Trump administration. Many individuals holding the I-220A form remain in a precarious legal position. Some immigrants have already faced the choice between deportation and returning to Cuba, as courts continue to debate eligibility for residency.
