Pablo Sanchez asked United States officials for asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico. Sanchez was immediately placed in a detention center. Now, he could be expelled by the U.S. government and sent to Cuba. Since Donald Trump became U.S. president, the government has deported more than 800 Cubans in the past year. The Trump administration has set sharp limits on who will be considered for asylum. That is coming as a shock for many Cuban asylum-seekers. For years, the U.S. government had given special privileges to people fleeing the island nation. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cubans were given a sure path to legal residence in the United States in a policy known as “wet foot, dry foot.” The name relates to the decision to accept asylum seekers who arrive by sea or over land.
