Republican Congressman Carlos Giménez has formally requested the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deport individuals linked to the Cuban regime who are currently residing in the United States. In a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the congressman voiced his concerns over the presence of agents from Cuba's Communist Party and the island's repressive apparatus on American soil.
Giménez cautioned that these individuals pose a threat to national security, the integrity of the immigration system, and the Cuban exile community. He emphasized that the Cuban Adjustment Act and other humanitarian programs were designed to protect those fleeing the dictatorship, not to allow entry to those affiliated with the regime.
The congressman included in his letter a list of Cuban nationals who, according to reports from independent organizations, are alleged to have committed human rights violations and are residing in the U.S. under false pretenses. He urged the DHS to begin investigations and deportation procedures against individuals who entered the country under fraudulent circumstances.
“The presence of these regime operatives not only endangers our communities but also provides the Cuban regime with a foothold for espionage, political coercion, and illicit activities within our borders,” Giménez warned.
He called on U.S. authorities to strengthen immigration controls to prevent future abuses and affirmed his commitment to ensuring that the United States does not become a haven for accomplices of the Cuban dictatorship.
This statement comes in the wake of raids ordered by President Donald Trump as part of his campaign to deport immigrants. Following an arrest, Giménez urged the public to report any Cuban "spies" residing in the country for arrest. Recently, authorities detained a suspected former Cuban State Security agent who had been living in the U.S. for years.
