HAVANA - A Cuban who returned from exile 1 1/2 years ago and became a dissident protested on Monday a U.S. government letter warning him of a fine of up to $250,000 and up to 10 years in prison for staying so long.

Eloy Gutierrez-Menoyo, founder of the Miami-based opposition group Cambio Cubano, returned to Cuba for good in August 2003 with hopes of eventually opening a Cambio Cubano office here.

His legal immigration status in Cuba remains in limbo and he has been unable to open the office.

Gutierrez-Menoyo is a Cuban citizen but retains residency in the United States, where his wife and children live.

1. This is what homeland security is doing instead of looking...

for terrorists. edit: okay, maybe it is a different bureaucracy, but why are we spending time and money on this?
