Custody impasse over Elian widens as Miami relatives resist handover
Miami relatives and attorney Manny Diaz say Elian Gonzalez will not be handed to his father if he comes to the United States for court hearings. Elian may stay at his Little Havana home with his relatives who will allow visits from his father, who seeks custody and a visa. INS demands a signed surrender pledge and faces a Tuesday deadline as courts weigh asylum for the boy with protests and visa considerations pending.
