Miami, United States. -Cuban American congressman Carlos Giménez (R-Florida) asked the US Department of National Security (DHS) to investigate and, if applicable, act against “agents” linked to the Havana regime that, he denounced, would be living in the United States under humanitarian amparos.
In A letter sent to Secretary Kristi Noemthe legislator warned about the “presence of agents of the murderous regime of Castro and the Communist Party of Cuba that currently reside in the United States.” A DHS spokesman indicated that the agency “was examining the matter”, According to Fox News.
Giménez’s exhortation – a federal legislator born in Cuba – occurs within the framework of a renewed attention from the White House to Latin America, after President Donald Trump ordered an unusual military operation in the Caribbean against alleged gang members dedicated to drug trafficking.
In his letter, the representative for Miami-Dade and Monroe-the federal district closest to Cuba-asked the DHS to enforce the laws in force against individuals who, in accordance with prodemocracy organizations and their own office, would be “perpetrating countless human rights abuse” and would have “trapped” the immigration system, which constitutes a “direct insult” to the Cuban exiles that fled In search of freedom. “It is crucial that the National Security Department enforces current US laws to identify, deport and repatriate these individuals who represent a threat to our national security,” Giménez wrote.
The legislator also asked Noem for a report for September 26 with the detail of whether the DHS investigated the names listed, if it initiated deportation or expulsion processes and, otherwise, the reasons for not acting. Tuesday’s letter follows Another sent in March which alerted for the first time about the possibility that “numerous Cuban agents” were living inadvertently in the US.
Giménez’s document includes dozens of names of people who would have entered the North American country under humanitarian programs and who oppose groups link the Miguel Díaz-Canel regime. In several cases, those indicated would be members or related to rapid response brigades, parapolial structures composed of civilians who “patrol” and act against dissidents on the island.
The political pressure, according to Fox News, seeks that the current strategy of the administration extends from Venezuela to Cuba, a regime that, in Giménez’s words, would be “in her ‘last breath’.” Speaking to Fox Business at the beginning of the year, the congressman urged to “freeze the economic oxygen of the regime” and predicted: “Castro’s regime is on the edge, and President Trump should push them beyond.”
