In 2000, Elian Gonzalez became embroiled in a heated international custody and immigration controversy involving the governments of Cuba and the United States. When I was 15, a SWAT team raided my home in Miami, Florida, and took me out of my room at gunpoint with my hands up. They were serving a warrant for someone already incarcerated for transporting Cubans to the States. Eventually, Elian was brought back to his father in Cuba, and I was led outside, where I was reunited with my family. Elian and I are the same age; he's graduated from college with a degree in Engineering, got married, and is expecting his first child. He works at a state-run company and is usually seen sitting courtside at the regime's rallies. What role will I play?
