On Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2014, the United States and Cuba agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations and open economic and travel ties. As a confidence-building measure, three of the men, including Hernandez, are expected to be released from federal prison in Butner, N.C., on Wednesday. (AP Photo/FBI, File)
