Protestors gather
to watch over Elian
By Alex Veiga
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Elian Gonzalez’s fa
ther asked for a visa Thursday to
come to the United States and
take the boy back to Cuba, as
dozens of anti-Castro activists
linked arms outside the 6-year
old’s Miami home, practicing re
sistance techniques.
Discussions between immigra
tion officials and the boy’s Miami
relatives, meanwhile, ended
Thursday evening without a reso
lution. The talks were set to resume
Monday, Immigration and Natural
ization Service officials said.
U.S. immigration officials have
demanded that the boy’s Miami
relatives promise in writing to turn
over the boy if they lose in court.
The INS had warned that it would
revoke Elian’s right to stay in the
United States unless the relatives
signed. But after the meeting, the
INS pushed back the deadline for
a second time to at least Tliesday.
The Justice Department and
the INS hoped “to continue to
move forward on Monday,” said
Robert Wallis, INS director for the
Miami district. “Like the family,
we are monitoring developments
concerning the possible arrival of
[Elian’s father] Juan Miguel Gon
zalez in the United States.”
On the street in front of the
house in Miami’s Little Havana
neighborhood where Elian has
been staying with his great-uncle,
dozens of demonstrators linked
arms and formed two rows.
“We will not let Elian’s civil
rights be violated,” said Ramon
Saul Sanchez, head of the
Democracy Movement, an anti
Castro group.
In another development, Vice
President Al Gore broke with the
Clinton administration and
backed legislation in Congress
that would grant permanent resi
dent status to Elian and to his fa
ther. If that were to happen, the
boy’s fate would be decided by
the courts and not by the INS.
