NEW: Woman cries and screams after her Cuban husband was arrested by ICE following his court hearing in Miami
The man had I-220A immigration status (a fake loophole, basically released to come back for a court hearing. It’s not residency).
**Woman**: “The only thing this country has done is work and work like a beast, like a beast. That’s pure injustice! Pure injustice! A great injustice!”
**Woman**: “Well, now I have to go to the ICE office to ask them not to deport him and give my reasons. This is beyond words, because everyone knows, we are Cubans and we came to this country seeking to improve our lives. And from day one since he arrived in this country, the only thing he has done is work and work and work, and do everything right.”
**Woman**: “No, we don’t have children, but he has all his family here.”
**Another person**: “And is she legally okay here today?”
**Another person**: “She is a resident. She has a family petition filed for her husband. They haven’t given us that opportunity either.”
**Woman**: “I mean, the constitutional guarantees, the minimum that this country should have, I don’t see them. I don’t see them. And the judge hasn’t given me the opportunity either.”
More information: The I-220A is not an immigration status but a document called the “Order of Release on Recognizance” issued by ICE or CBP. It allows non-citizens in removal proceedings to be released from detention under conditions like attending court hearings, not changing residence without permission, and complying with laws. It does not grant legal status or protect against arrest if conditions are violated. Sources like USCIS and ICE confirm its procedural nature, despite some misconceptions that it’s a status. Non-compliance can lead to detention or penalties.
