DONNA KELLEY, CNN ANCHOR: For the latest in the Elian Gonzalez case now. The boy's two grandmothers are expected to leave New York today after pleading for Elian's return to his father, but will they return to Cuba without even seeing their grandson? For that, here's CNN's Deborah Feyerick in New York. Good morning, Deb.</s>DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, good morning, Kyra. And that is the big question. At 6:00 this morning, the two grandmothers left the apartment where they've been staying, just here behind me. They are going to be making the round of morning talk shows, trying to publicize their case and really plead nationally on television to get their grandson returned to Cuba. So far, they have not seen the child. A spokesman for the National Council of Churches says that they're hopeful that this well in fact happened. The reason they have not gone to Miami, they have cited, are security concerns; they're fearful of anti-Castro demonstrations. They want to avoid confrontation. So right now, all of their visit -- or their visit has, so far, been confined to New York. Now, yesterday, they were at Riverside Church here in Manhattan. They joined some 2,000 other people praying for the boy's return. On Saturday, they did meet with Attorney General Janet Reno; they are hoping to expedite Elian's return to Cuba. Elian, who has been staying with relatives in Miami, the INS has ordered him to go home -- his grandmothers thought they would be the ones who were taking him. But his great uncle in Miami has filed suit, trying to block the INS's move. This week, lawmakers will meet, trying to grant Elian citizenship, so it's going to be a very interesting week. According to a spokesperson for the grandmothers, they are expected to return perhaps late today; of course, that could change if in fact they go to see Elian.
