Cuban detainees at the Krome detention center in Miami-Dade protested due to long detentions, some lasting months, because Cuba will not accept their return, leading to an endless limbo. Wearing grey sweatsuits, they used creative methods, like body formations and writing "SOS Cuba" on their clothing, to draw attention. Reports of potential transfers and poor conditions further fueled their actions. Witnesses noted a shift in the treatment of detainees, specifically mentioning policy changes under former President Trump. The protest highlighted the difficult conditions and challenges faced by immigrants in detention.
