The reclusive dictatorship was expelled from the Organization of American States in 1962 at Washington’s request, and Cuban-American relations have been officially nonexistent for even longer.

The women are among 26 former Agriprocessors workers, most from Guatemala and Mexico, charged with immigration violations and fighting deportation. Released on humanitarian grounds but required to wear electronic ankle bracelets, the women, as well as about 59 children, now depend on the community, especially St. Bridget's church, which operates a Hispanic ministry...
