 * César Manuel Guzmán Cruz (imprisoned 1978–1998): Guzmán Cruz is a refugee from Cuba. They remained detained after his sentence ended because they could not be deported to Cuba. The WAGD found that Guzmán Cruz's detention beyond the sentence was arbitrary on Category III (unfair trial).
 * Israel Sacerio Pérez (imprisoned 1991–1998): The WAGD found that Pérez's detention was arbitrary on Category III (unfair trial).
 * Félix Gómez, Angel Benito, Cándido Rodríguez Sánchez (imprisoned ???): Cuban nationals allegedly held for over 10 years without charge. The US government did not reply to the WAGD's request for information. The WAGD found that their detention was arbitrary on Category I (no legal basis).
