Mar 31, 2026 · Cuba

Isnel Mayea Borges, a Cuban national who entered the U.S. through CBP's One Program in August 2023 and was released on two-year parole, was arrested by ICE on March 31, 2026 while on his way to work. Borges has a pending Application for Adjustment of Status under the Cuban Adjustment Act, possesses valid Employment Authorization, and has no criminal history. The court ordered his immediate release, finding his detention without a pre-deprivation hearing violated due process.
