But the Miami relatives have insisted that won't happen unless Reno sends federal marshals through the throng around Lazaro's house to collect the boy.

INS officials were just waiting for Juan Miguel to set foot in America, and they would move to strip Lazaro of custody. Even if no one else in the entourage was allowed to come, Craig said, Juan Miguel would get custody of Elian and could decide for himself whether to return immediately to Cuba or wait out the appeals process in Washington.
