Marcos, I read that Washington Post article. What they fail to mention is there is no age limit for one seeking asylum. It took the father five months to make an appearance. The affidavit of the nun, said the grandmothers looked scared and were taking orders from someone on a phone from Cuba. That is coercion.

Reno wanted desperately to hustle this kid out of the country and not give him his day in court. Reno knows she can't influence every judge, and intimidating some judges might backfire on her department.

I would say Elian has an 80% chance of remaining, if they try muscle tactics in the Florida courts I would say it might be a 95% chance of remaining in the U.S. to pursue his own existence free of Castro.
