Elian Gonzalez
"The application for stay presented to Justice Kennedy and by him referred to the Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied."
With that brief decision, the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Juan Miguel Gonzalez to return home with his son, Elian Gonzalez. They did so on Wednesday, June 28. Elian Gonzalez is the 6-year-old Cuban boy rescued at sea in November 1999, and brought to the United States.
