The Cuban Héctor Luis Valdés Cocho, who was known as an independent journalist and activist and later faced fraud charges in the United States, is currently in ICE custody in Florida and is apparently at risk of deportation.

Valdés Cocho had been arrested last November amid several fraud accusations, and is currently at the Broward Transitional Center under the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as can be read on the agency's location page.
