A video posted on TikTok by user @hawai1411, who appears to reside in Mexico, has generated significant interest as it reflects on the difficult immigration situation faced by thousands of Cubans in the United States, especially following the recent measures adopted by the Donald Trump administration.
In his video, the Cuban offers a critical view of the emails sent by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which, he claims, seek to generate psychological pressure on migrants to induce them to leave the country.
The message begins with a personal reflection: “Last night, I couldn't stop thinking about the emails and came to a conclusion: they are testing our strength using fear and psychology.”
In his analysis, the TikToker asserts that the emails sent do not contain detailed information about the migrants, such as their updated address or phone number, making mass deportations unlikely. Despite this, he emphasizes that the intention behind these messages is to sow fear and create an environment of uncertainty.
The video also addresses the profound emotional implications experienced by Cuban migrants, who after a long and arduous journey through several countries, finally manage to reunite with their families in the U.S., only to face a new legal barrier that threatens their stability.
“It must be very hard, reaching the goal after going through so much, crossing so many countries, and living for months in Mexico, only to find themselves facing this. I wouldn't wish it on anyone,” he says, visibly moved.
In his speech, the Cuban appeals for calm and recommends against making impulsive decisions under pressure. “This is terrifying psychological work, but very well done,” he adds, urging his followers not to give in to panic and share his message to help those who feel desperate. The reflection seeks to reassure migrants and foster solidarity within the Cuban community abroad.
A few days ago, numerous migrants in the United States, including Cubans, received an email notifying them of the “Termination of Parole,” urging them to leave the country immediately. What was surprising was that this message was sent to a variety of people, from humanitarian parole recipients to those who were already US residents or citizens.
Immigration attorney Liudmila Marcelo has reported that many of her clients, including herself as a citizen, received these emails, suggesting an error in the USCIS automated system.
Journalist Mario J. Pentón warned Cuban migrants about the implications of these measures and advised them to proceed with caution regarding any decisions they may make in the future. “If you entered through humanitarian parole or CBP One, apply for asylum. That's the way to be protected while the Cuban Adjustment Act is in place,” he recommended.
Bad move Hor-hay. Trump NEVER bluffs about illegals.
Yeah, but the letter was sent to legal residents too, so there's obviously some kind of error.
Don't panic. GTFO in an orderly fashion.

Is it be protected a) while the Cuban adjustment act is in place? Or b) until the act is in place?
When my ancestors came to settle, they left family forever. No planes, no phones, and snail mail took months and months.
Good advice. Just stay calm and stay put, ICE will get to you shortly. Stop worrying about it.
Kek, about to get the "surprise motherfucker" 🤣
something needs to happen so that it's abundantly clear he isn't bluffing.
FAFO immediately comes to mind...
