Thousands of Cuban migrants who arrived legally in the US are now facing deportation due to changes in US immigration policies by President Donald Trump.

Cubans, who have historically received preferential treatment from the US, have not been spared by President Donald Trump's war on immigration. The US has ended family reunification and legal immigration from Cuba by adding the island to its travel ban. It has also suspended temporary protection programmes, exposing thousands of people who arrived legally to deportation to a country suffering from severe US sanctions and crippling electricity blackouts.
