Travelers return after defying Cuban travel rules
In Buffalo and across the border at Hidalgo, groups of U S activists re entered the United States after defying new Cuba travel limits. About 90 Venceremos Brigade members walked in from Canada at the Peace Bridge, while roughly 100 Pastors for Peace volunteers crossed from Mexico via the Hidalgo International Bridge with aid bound for Cuba. The groups reported no incidents as border agents noted the trip crossed without arrests after the June 30 rule changes.
