ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MIAMI -- More than 700 Mariel refugees have been ordered released from prisons and immigration jails because the United States has no power to deport them to their native Cuba.
But the Miami Beach arrest of one of the newly released men indicates background checks performed before they were let out are not up to snuff.
Police took Roberto Machin into custody in March after finding him asleep on a park bench. A routine check found he was wanted in Tennessee in a 21-year-old murder. He has been sent to Nashville for prosecution."
