US Customs and Border Protection authorities in Florida found three Cuban refugees hidden in a ship arriving from Cuba. The three men worked as part of the production crew of the movie "Fast and Furious 8". The authorities confirmed that the Cubans were discovered inside a cargo ship upon arrival on Friday afternoon to the marítimade terminal in Miami. The eighth installment of the "Fast and Furious" franchise, starring Vin Diesel, recorded scenes in Havana few weeks ago, and plans to shoot more scenes in New York City.Cubans who touch US land are favored by the United States - Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 and its policy of "dry foot / wet foot". Every Cuban reaching U.S. soil can stay in the country, while those who are intercepted at sea before reaching the coast are deported to Cuba.
