He put Donald Trump’s face on his neck.
Now he’s terrified the system Trump championed could deport him.
A Cuban man in Miami known as “El Oski” arrived in the United States in 2019 and became a loud, proud Trump supporter. He defended the rhetoric. He echoed the talking points. He made his loyalty permanent with ink.
Then it got complicated.
El Oski is among a massive group of Cuban immigrants issued an I-220A document. It allows someone to remain in the U.S. temporarily — but here’s the catch — it does not count as parole. And that single technical distinction has trapped hundreds of thousands of people in legal limbo.
For years, many were told it would be fine.
Then it got worse.
Without parole status, they cannot apply for permanent residency under the Cuban Adjustment Act. No green card pathway. No certainty. Just waiting.
And now?
Immigration enforcement is tightening. Court cases are stalling. Fear is spreading. And suddenly, the slogans don’t sound so comforting.
In interviews, El Oski admits this isn’t what he expected. He says he’s scared of deportation — scared of losing the life he built — even as he continues to express faith that Trump will somehow step in.
That’s the moment this story turns.
Because immigration policy doesn’t care who you voted for. It doesn’t check tattoos. It doesn’t reward loyalty.
When politicians sell cruelty as strength, the fallout doesn’t stop with the people they promised to target.
It spreads.
And for many, the realization comes too late — right when the consequences become personal.
