Ice Agents in Miami Find a New Spot to Carry Out Arrests: Immigration Court

In one of the arrest cases in Miami on Wednesday, immigration court Judge Rico Sogocio told a Cuban man to request a parole document. The man said in court that he had submitted his green card application under the decades-old Cuban Adjustment Act.

The man’s family later told the Herald he had been given an I-220A, a document given at the border that generally cannot be used to get permanent residency under the decades-old legislation that allows Cubans who are in the U.S for a year and a day to get a green card.

Once the man stepped out of the courtroom with his wife and daughter, a group of ICE agents approached him and told him he was being placed in custody.
