A U.S. immigration judge ruled on Monday that if an asylum-seeking former CIA operative from Cuba is deported, he would be sent to Venezuela — where he has been charged in connection with the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner — and not returned to his Communist homeland.
The decision by U.S. Immigration Judge William Abbott came in advance of a hearing on the asylum application of 77-year-old Luis Posada Carriles, which was expected to last three to five days.
The case has placed President George W. Bush’s administration in a difficult position as it tries to balance its support among the politically powerful anti-Castro Cuban-American community with its global campaign against terrorism.
