History of the Cubans aka "Los Marielito"
Fidel Castro forced his prisoners out of Cuba in 1980 through the Port of Mariel, Cuba. Pesident Jimmy Carter provided sanctuary. Subsequently, on November 10, 1987, the U.S. State Department announced that Cuba had agreed to reinstate a 1984 accord that would permit the repatriation of up to 2,500 Cuban nationals. Three days after the announcement, the longest prison takeover in U.S. history (Thanksgiving Day) the detainees seized control of the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta. Their principal demand was that they not be repatriated to Cuba. The uprising lasted 11 days, involved more than 100 hostages, and burned down a substantial portion of the facility. After a great deal of tension, the FBI and Delta Force suppressed the riot on November 24.
