El Oski, a Cuban supporter of Trump, faces the imminent danger of deportation, his neck adorned with a prominent tattoo of Trump’s face
A Miami resident finds himself in a state of legal uncertainty after discovering that his I 220A documents do not provide a route to legal residency.
El Oski, a podcaster originally from Cuba who established his brand in Miami through vocal support for Donald Trump, is experiencing a dramatic shift in his circumstances.
Upon arriving in the States in 2019, he fully embraced his political beliefs, enduring 12 hours of tattooing to have Trump’s face inked on his neck. It served as a lasting symbol of pride for him, embodying his faith in a system he believed would safeguard diligent immigrants like himself while concentrating on “criminals.”
Fast forward to last month, and that pride has given way to a profound sense of dread. In a candid series of interviews conducted in January 2026, El Oski expressed his deep fear of being returned to the island. The matter revolves around his I 220A document, a form issued to numerous Cubans at the border that permits their presence in the country but does not provide them with “parole.”
This minor detail presents a significant obstacle; without parole, El Oski and countless others are unable to seek residency under the Cuban Adjustment Act.
The irony is palpable, as the stringent enforcement measures he once applauded are now being directed at his own situation. El Oski expresses no regret about his tattoo, despite the anxiety surrounding the possibility of being removed from his life in Miami, even though the political figure he admires is connected to the very platform complicating his legal status.
Although the ink on his skin remains permanent, his right to reside in the United States is now officially at risk.
