MIAMI — Known to his listeners as El Oski, the Cuban-born podcaster once proudly called himself a fan of President Donald Trump.

El Oski showed reporters a tattoo honoring the president, a commitment that took three sessions of about four hours each to complete.

He recalled being “very excited about Trump” at the time

But that enthusiasm has slowly faded away as immigration enforcement intensifies nationwide.

“I’m scared,” he said in Spanish, acknowledging that he and many other Cubans remain at risk of deportation.

I normally try to avoid encouraging schadenfreude, but then there are cases like this where those stupid enough to kiss up to bullies get what they give. Sadly, his outcome will probably be better than those in Minneapolis who were fighting for his ability to remain here.

And he still can't admit he was wrong. These are such deeply stupid and insecure people.

El Oski is among an estimated hundreds of thousands of Cubans who entered the United States through the southern border and were released under an immigration document known as an I-220A, rather than being formally paroled into the country.

... the federal government does not recognize an I-220A as a lawful entry for purposes of adjusting immigration status.
