Tensions have flared in recent weeks in Havana as Cubans seeking to leave face rising ticket prices and fresh visa requirements. Cuba says the United States’ Cold-War era embargo and other policies encourage Cubans to risk their lives to leave the island
"Every time I go home, I find that 10 people have left," said Perez, who studies in the capital Havana but hails from the nearby farm province of Mayabeque. "It's hard to get up in the morning and know I'm not going to see them anymore."
While most migrants from Mexico and Central America are turned back under a pandemic-era U.S. policy known as Title 42, with no chance to apply for asylum, almost all Cubans who arrived in the past year were allowed into the United States to pursue their immigration cases.But taking the first step - a flight to Nicaragua - is getting more complicated now as the number of Cubans leaving the island has spiked.
Such hurdles complicate travel for Cubans already stressed by problems at home, including food and medicine shortages, a floundering economy and rising social tensions, said Jorge Duany, a migration expert with Florida International University. After Panama announced a decision to require Cubans obtain a transit visa to pass through its airports, a crowd of at least 800 people holding passports and tickets chanted "We want to travel" outside that country's embassy in Havana. The unusual protest was heavily guarded by police.
