U.S.-bound Cubans held at Guantanamo

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- About 50 Cuban migrants are being detained indefinitely at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to an exile group in Miami.

Federal officials Tuesday confirmed the number.

One migrant has been held for nearly two years; another, age 10, has diabetes.

The Cubans were picked up at sea at various times trying to reach the United States, according to the exile group, Democracy Movement.
