Desperate Plea: Cubans at Krome Detention Center Spell Out 'SOS' in Protest

Cubans detained at the Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade County, Florida staged a powerful protest on Thursday, June 5th, 2025, against the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. Dozens of detainees, dressed in white, formed the letters "SOS" in the detention center’s courtyard, a scene captured by NBC6’s Chopper6. The protest underscores the growing concern over immigration policies and their impact on the Cuban community. One detainee, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, stated, "We are desperate. We are here seeking asylum, and we are being treated unjustly." The protest comes amid heightened tensions surrounding immigration and deportation efforts. The visual impact of the "SOS" message created by the detainees serves as a poignant symbol of their plight and their plea for help. The event highlights the human cost of immigration policies and the ongoing struggle for asylum seekers.
