To the Attention of the USCIS, Ombudsman DHS, United States Government,

• Cc: Relevant Government Agencies and Executives.

Dear Ombudsman, USCIS, DHS, United States Government....

I am writing to you in my capacity as a citizen and journalist, deeply concerned about the arbitrary indefinite paralysis of the processing of Adjustment of Status applications under the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) of 1966.

Thousands of Cuban families, legally admitted to this country through a Parole supervised and authorized by the Executive Branch, now find themselves in an unsustainable legal limbo. Despite holding an I-94, a document certifying their legal admission, their Adjustment of Status applications (I-485) have been indefinitely halted. This not only causes psychological and financial harm but also constitutes a flagrant violation of a federal law.

The Cuban Adjustment Act is a mandate of Congress, not a suggestion, and it cannot be arbitrarily suspended under the pretext of national security. While we do share the need for a rigorous case-by-case investigation, the widespread halt of these processes is an administrative omission that defies the rule of law.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize with utmost clarity that respect for the law, a principle this government demands of its citizens, must begin with the government itself. The Cuban Adjustment Act, supported by an I-94, is a federal statute that does not admit pauses or exceptions. Processing times have exceeded reasonable limits; it is imperative that each case, once verified, receives a concrete and prompt response, without further delay. It is time for the government to restore consistency, apply the law uniformly, and honor the legitimacy of those who entered this country legally.

If the United States Government, in implementing Humanitarian Parole, made an error, these individuals have become victims of a system that, far from protecting them, has left them in a legal void. Therefore, I respectfully request your intervention to ensure that each case is assessed with fairness and that the supremacy of federal laws is respected.

No ongoing process should be interrupted if it is being managed or processed under the Cuban Adjustment Act, from any pretext. Unless there is a justification, or even a documented excuse, or a direct individual violation of that law.

The Cuban community, who have complied with every protocol, deserve dignified treatment, in accordance with the law, without having to resort to costly or indefinite litigation.

Dear Esteemed Executives and Diplomatic Officers:

I hope this message finds you well. I write to emphasize a critical point for the proper guidance of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the context of Cuban Adjustment Act cases. It is crucial that ICE is fully informed that individuals currently in the process of adjustment under the Cuban Adjustment Act have been protected by federal legislation from the outset of their application. In other words, these individuals are documented and fully covered by federal law throughout their adjustment process; they are not undocumented. This legal status is granted via the I-94 and ensures their eligibility for adjustment under this federal provision. I kindly urge all relevant government representatives to ensure this understanding is clearly communicated to ICE to avoid any misinterpretations.

I emphasize: It is imperative that this communication with ICE be unequivocal to prevent actions resulting in the unjust incarceration of applicants. It is procedurally improper for individuals without criminal charges—who are already documented immigrants under the protection of federal legislation—to be subjected to detention and bail requirements while awaiting the resolution of their adjustment of status. Any such measure would disregard their current legal protection and constitute a violation of their rights.

Note of high relevance: The Federal Government's persistence in omitting the judicial mandate issued by Judge Indira Talwani represents a troubling violation of legal certainty and due process. We urge the administration to immediately comply with the order to restore immigration proceedings under the Cuban Adjustment Act, and others also very necessary of equal importance who are pending in the same way affected, thereby ensuring constitutional integrity and the protection of the rights of the families affected by this administrative inaction.

The continued defiance of a judicial order issued by a magistrate in full exercise of their duties constitutes a serious legal infringement that entails responsibilities of a jurisdictional nature.

I thank you in advance for your attention and remain at your disposal for any further clarification.
