The Cuban-American congressman Carlos Giménez issued a direct warning this Thursday to the so-called "artists" and opinion leaders associated with the Cuban regime who reside in or travel to the United States, stating that those who use their presence in the country to financially benefit the dictatorship could have their visas revoked.
“My office is receiving reports of supposed 'artists' and opinion agents of the Cuban dictatorship who have arrived in the United States to bring dollars to the regime. Having a visa to enter the USA is a privilege and it will be revoked. You have been warned,” wrote the Republican legislator on his official X account.
The publication adds to a growing wave of rejection from the Cuban exile community towards figures aligned with the regime who, after openly defending the Government of Havana, later appear to be enjoying benefits and freedoms in the United States, particularly under migration programs such as humanitarian parole or exchange and tourism visas.
Giménez, who represents southern Florida in the House of Representatives, has been one of the most active in denouncing the ideological and economic infiltration of Castroism in U.S. territory, particularly in cultural and media sectors.
His message on social media was supported by numerous users who demand stricter immigration policies for individuals who, they claim, "double dip" between the official repression in Cuba and the comfort of the democratic system abroad.
In recent months, several artists and communicators associated with the regime's official propaganda have been spotted in cities like Miami, igniting outrage within the Cuban community in exile.
These presences, perceived as provocative, have reignited calls for stricter immigration policies and the implementation of sanctions against those who actively cooperate with repressive systems.
Although Giménez did not identify specific names in his message, the tone of his post suggests that the authorities are evaluating concrete cases in coordination with immigration agencies.
The warning marks a new chapter in the tension between those in power in Cuba who have benefitted from ideological and economic control, and those in the United States who demand consistency and justice in the face of what they consider a mockery of the freedoms that are defended here.
Recently, the Republican congressman from Florida reiterated his proposal to suspend all flights and remittances from the United States to Cuba, as part of a strategy to economically suffocate the Cuban regime, which he labels a “murderous dictatorship” and a threat to U.S. national security.
In statements to Telemundo 51, Giménez defended the measure, arguing that cutting off the regime's sources of income is essential to weaken its repressive capacity.
