SUBJI T`: Suspect Cuban Refugees
1. The US Issigration.and Naturalization Service
estimates that *Inc* Castro came to power,, about 28 Cu-
ban nationals who had applied for entry to the United
States were refused admission or were induced to leave
during the investigative period because of information
indicating scare subversive elements in their backgrounds.
(INS does not specifically define the "investigative
period, " and apparently keeps it sufficiently flexible
to permit necessary investigation.)
2. la some cases the individuals concerned had
been temporarily admitted to the United States on a
"deferred decision" basis while investigations were in
progress. In other cases individuals withdrew their
applications when informed that their admission would
be subject to completion of investigation. In most
cases the applicant left either at once or within sev-
eral days of arrival.
3. We know of no case of an individual formally
admitted to the United States who has subsently
been deported or expelled for connection with Castro
subversive activities.
