'Salgado, 26, daughter of Alina Fernández, one of Fidel Castro's daughters in exile, was among the 6,000 people who became US citizens at one of two mass naturalization ceremonies at the Miami Beach Convention Center,' The Herald said.
''I want to keep my life private and personal,'' she told The Herald when reached by telephone at home. ``I don't want my private life to come out in the newspaper.''
Her mother, Alina Fernández, 'fled Cuba wearing a wig and carrying a Spanish passport in 1993, but left her then 16-year-old daughter behind,' The newspaper said.
'At a news conference shortly after arriving in the United States, Fernández appealed to her father to let his granddaughter leave and revealed that it was her daughter who encouraged her to flee Cuba. Alina Salgado was allowed to join her mother in exile within days,' said The Herald.
