Elian, a young Cuban boy, had been found off the coast of Florida after surviving a shipwreck that killed his mother and others attempting to reach the United States. The event sparked a heated debate between Cuba and the United States over his custody. Elian's relatives in Miami wanted him to stay in the US, while his father in Cuba demanded his return. After months of legal battles and political tensions, US authorities finally decided to send Elian back to his father in Cuba. The decision was met with protests from Cuban-Americans in Miami who felt that Elian should have been allowed to stay in the US. The custody battle over Elian Gonzalez highlighted the political complexities between Cuba and the US, as well as the emotional toll it took on both countries.
