They warn about the ongoing arrival of repressors and former Castro leaders to the U.S.: "They lie to Immigration."

The Patmos Institute warned about the alarming increase of former Castro leaders arriving in the United States "without expressing any remorse," and who furthermore "lie to U.S. immigration in order to evade or conceal responsibilities."

In a statement published on its blog, the independent organization - founded in 2013 and dedicated to the promotion of human rights, religious freedom, and freedom of expression - lamented that important programs such as that of political refugees have not been resumed, which would indeed be in line with U.S. policy, which has always been prominent in the international arena for supporting human rights.

"The reality is that while Cuban repressors arrive in the United States with total impunity, their victims in Cuba continue to suffer as hostages to the horrors of Castroism," the entity lamented.

The Patmos Institute lamented that relatives of opponents, political prisoners, and pastors besieged by the regime have not had, in many cases, the "luck that the repressors have enjoyed."

The Patmos Institute cites the most recent example of the brazen arrival of former Castro supporters in Miami as the arrival of Manuel Menéndez Castellanos, who served for 10 years as the first secretary of the PCC in the province of Cienfuegos and was also part of the support and coordination group for Fidel Castro.

"He entered on August 15 through Miami airport via a more rigorous process than Parole (family reunification) where it is indeed investigated whether the person was or was not a member of the PCC, which the former official clearly denied," Patmos pointed out.

The entity referred to a letter dated August 13, 2024, sent to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, by several senior congress members of the House Homeland Security Committee.

In the letter, signed by Mark Green, Clay Higgins, and Dan Bishop, among others, an investigation was requested into the possible irregularities in the processing of humanitarian Parole.

The letter mentioned that "numerous oversight alerts" addressed to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the implementation of the humanitarian Parole program "were not properly heeded."

In the final segment of its statement, the Patmos Institute said it does not lose hope that "the processes and programs will soon be carried out with justice," but noted that "in the current disorder of things, it seems all too evident that the opposite is happening."
