Arístides Fernández detained more than 90 days before reaching Africa
The Cuban was among people deported to third countries after the island declined to accept his return.
Arístides Fernández was detained in Miami when he attended an immigration hearing. The arrest began a custody period lasting more than three months and attributed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The sequence starts with the hearing and continues through prolonged detention.
The detention is described both as more than 90 days and nearly 100, placing it close to three months without giving exact entry and release dates. The identified facility was Alligator Alcatraz.
Fernández was among Cubans sent by the United States to third countries after Cuba did not accept their return. Africa was identified as the destination. The journey reportedly crossed four countries, but the available excerpts neither name them nor order the stops.
The arrest occurred in Miami, Alligator Alcatraz is associated with the following detention, and Africa is the destination. Those points reconstruct the general order but not the intermediate route or its duration.
What is confirmed is that Fernández was included among Cubans deported to third countries after the island did not accept him back. The account links that outcome to the earlier arrest and long detention. It does not identify the specific African country or describe what followed.
