I certainly don't know all the different rules. After all, there is one or two groups down there that patrol off Cuba to pick up any refugees early on, and those folks are taking them to Miami, not returning them. There was also a case while I was down there, where some Cubans and Haitians got together, and when they were picked up the Cubans were claiming the Haitians were Cuban so that they would get to go to the US rather than being returned to Haiti. What I don't remember was who picked them up. I think it was a commercial vessel rather than the USCG. At that point it may make more difference who gets in contact first. There are organizations in the refugee community who take in any Cubans they can, though I don't know how far out they reach.
