A group of one hundred Cuban citizens residing in the United States has been identified for links to the Havana regime, and their deportation from the country is being requested, according to a report presented by Republican Congressman Carlos Giménez.
The document, titled "Cuban Repressors in the United States of America", presents a list of individuals who are alleged to have participated in acts of repression on the island and who, despite this, managed to enter and settle in the U.S.
In the list are former military personnel, intelligence agents, government officials, and members of Cuban repressive forces who, according to the report, are said to have committed human rights violations before emigrating.
Congressman Giménez has urged immigration authorities to take action to expel these individuals from U.S. territory, arguing that their presence in the country is incompatible with the principles of freedom and democracy that the United States champions.
“The presence of these regime operations not only endangers our communities but also provides the Cuban regime with a basis for espionage, political coercion, and illegal activities within our borders,” said Giménez in a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem.
he pointed out that the Cuban Adjustment Act and other humanitarian programs were established to protect those fleeing the dictatorship, not to allow entry for individuals with ties to the regime.
Giménez has urged the immigration authorities to review these cases and act in accordance with the laws that prohibit the entry and residency of individuals involved in human rights violations.
On various occasions, the Cuban community in exile has demanded greater scrutiny of the backgrounds of those seeking refuge in the U.S. Many believe that the arrival of former regime officials on U.S. soil undermines the efforts of those seeking justice for the victims of repression in Cuba.
Until now, U.S. immigration authorities have not issued an official response to the report nor have they confirmed whether immediate action will be taken against the individuals mentioned. However, the document could pave the way for investigations and potential deportation proceedings in the coming months.
At least one of those mentioned in the list was arrested a few days ago. This is Tomás Emilio Hernández Cruz, 71 years old, a former high-ranking official of the Cuban intelligence service, who was arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI last week in Broward County, Florida.
According to the information provided, Hernández Cruz submitted fraudulent statements in his application for permanent residency, concealing his past as an intelligence officer and his affiliation with the Communist Party, and is awaiting deportation.
