“After 27 days lost at sea, seeing two of their boat mates die, and suffering from deep hunger, Cuban rafters Angel Ricardo Zamora Domínguez and his wife, Helen, thought that freedom was at hand when they were rescued by the Mexican navy.

They were even more certain when relatives in California paid $11,000 to a Mexican lawyer who promised to get them released in a matter of days from an immigration station in the southern state of Chiapas, where they were sent in mid-July after their rescue.
