The Cuban content creator known as @Whiteshark_i220a recently shared a gripping video on social media, detailing a nerve-wracking incident that unfolded right outside his Miami residence. The unexpected encounter involved agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
He recounted that the unsettling situation began early one morning when he stepped out to walk his dog, only to find an unfamiliar vehicle, a black-windowed Chevrolet SUV, obstructing his driveway.
Approaching the vehicle, he requested the driver to move so his wife could exit the garage. The driver then rolled down the window, revealing a badge and a vest labeled “Police ICE.”
The Cuban creator admits he was terrified but managed to maintain his composure. “He showed me a photo of a man they were looking for, but I honestly told him I didn’t know the person. Although I recognize him as a neighbor, I have no idea where he resides,” he shared.
Whiteshark possesses an I-220A immigration permit, a temporary document granting supervised freedom to asylum seekers in the U.S. Although this incident took place roughly a year ago, he decided to repost the video for his followers.
The video has garnered over 300,000 views and sparked a wave of supportive messages for Cubans holding the I-220A status across various social media platforms.
