Cubans with I220-As anxiously wait at the ICE facility in Miramar for their routine appointments.

The ICE office in Miramar, Broward County, is visited daily by hundreds of immigrants, a significant portion of them Cubans with I-220A status, worried and unsure about the possibility of returning home or facing detention.

Firm in his commitment to follow legal procedures, Yasel Gutiérrez arrived at the office this week with his wife and son, fully aware of the potential dangers, and in statements to Univision he said: "I feel nervous because if something happens to me, my family will be left without support," "I'm with one foot here and the other I don't know where, because being here I'm not legally here."

Royma Alarcón, another person present at the scene, commented: “Everyone is very scared; many people don't even want to attend their appointments.”

Immigrant advocacy groups have set up aid stations to assist people waiting in the heat outside the ICE office. Yaquelin López of the American Friends Service Committee, holding a sign, said, "They come from very far away places. We've started bringing coffee, water for the elderly, and snacks for the children." "Love knows no borders."

Yasel showed up for his appointment scheduled for 8:30 a.m., but his wife began to worry as the hours passed and she saw only ICE patrols leaving the location with detained people inside the vehicle.

Fortunately, around 1 p.m., she saw her husband leave. Now more relaxed, he commented: "They didn't ask me anything, just if I had a court date, and they gave me an appointment for next year," adding: "Everyone was nervous," referring to those like him who were waiting in the ICE room.

Tensions have risen following the arrest of several Cuban women with I-220As on March 10. Attorney Wilfredo Allen emphasized that, despite certain instances, most Cuban women with I-220As generally do not experience problems during their appointments with ICE.
