Category:Cubans at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay

When Fidel Castro took power in Cuba there were several thousand Cubans who commuted to the US base to perform non-military tasks. The USA stopped hiring new workers, but existing workers were allowed to keep their jobs.

The last two elderly commuters retired in 2012.
Several hundred sought asylum on the base, known as "special category residents", and a few dozen elderly men and women continue to live there today.
Cubans continue to seek asylum on the base -- largely without success.
