Gimenez pushes the action of the DHS on the Cuban agents in the middle of the focus of Trump in Latin America

EXCLUSIVE: After President Donald Trump led a rare American defense posture to Latin America with a military strike in the Caribbean against the so -called members of Gangs of Mist and a bonus at the head of a strong man in Central America, the only legislator born at the origin of the country also called on Tuesday for Havana.

Representative Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., Who fled the Fidel Castro dictator’s revolution in 1960 as a young boy, called on the Ministry of Internal Security to act on or to investigate a list of dozens of people that his office and / or human rights organizations had identified as the current Miguel Díaz Cenne regime or deceased deceased brothers.

Gimenez, which also represents the district of the Congress closest to Cuba in the counties of Miami-Dade and Monroe, warned the secretary of the DHS, Kristi Noem, of the “presence of agents of the murderous regime of Castro and the Communist Party of Cuba currently residing in the United States”.

A spokesperson for the DHS said on Tuesday that the department was examining the issue.

Trump’s strike on the cartel’s ship off Venezuela sends a warning to Maduro: “no sanctuary”

The letter adds to a pressure drum on the administration to expand its repression beyond Venezuela in Cuba, a regime that Gimenez and others support is on its “last breath”.

Earlier this year, the Cuban legislator told Fox Business that the United States should “freeze the economic oxygen of the regime”, predicting “, the Castro regime is at the limit, and President Trump should kick them on the edge.”

The letter listed by the people Gimenez said they were in the United States as part of humanitarian programs which, pro-democracy groups, are linked to the communist regime of Diaz-Canel and accuse of “perpetrating of innumerable human rights violations”.

More broadly, the Trump administration has taken rapid measures against Latin American threats, including an air strike on a skiff which transported terrorists of members of alleged gangs who are said to have drug trafficking.

The federal authorities have examined the strike of the self -defense of the fatherland, but criticism in the congress expressed their concerns concerning its alignment on the law on war powers.

This decision has marked one of the most muscular American military actions in the hemisphere for years and followed the administration’s decision to place a bonus of $ 50 million on Maduro’s head.

Trump previously appointed Tren of Aragua and the Los Soles cartel as foreign terrorist organizations, which gives government a wider latitude of the tactics used to combat such threats.

Three warships were deployed in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela in another example of the growing concern of the Trump administration concerning regional threats in the American hemisphere.

War secretary Pete Hegseth And the president of the joint chiefs, General Dan Caine, tackled on Monday in Porto Rico to strengthen military operations.

Puerto Rico’s republican governor Jenniffer González-Colón, and the first gentleman Jose Yovin Vargas thanked the administration for recognizing “the strategic importance of the island for our national security”, as Hegseth also indicated to the troops of the region that their deployment was not for training.

Together, the steps suggest a renewed accent on the fight against cartels, dictatorships and migration pressures of the region after years of attention are centered on the Middle East and Asia. This backdrop has embarked on American Cuban legislators and activists to call for a parallel action against Havana.

Among the names of Gimenez’s letter, several are labeled as linked or members of Rapida Accion Brigadas, or quick response brigade. This group is made up of designated citizens who mainly patrol dissidents.

The letter followed a similar missive in March which first highlighted the potential of many Cuban agents living under the radar in the United States

“It is crucial that the Ministry of Internal Security obliges existing American laws to identify, expel and repatriate these individuals who constitute a threat to our national security,” wrote Gimenez in the letter.

In his original letter, Gimenez warned that many individuals “have played” the immigration system and are therefore a “direct insult” to legitimize Cuban exiles who fled in Florida and beyond the search for personal freedoms that their families formerly appreciated on the island.

Gimenez met exclusively at Fox News Digital earlier this year when he joined a delegation from Congress to the US military installation of Guantanamo Bay.

He said that he had been overwhelmed by emotion when he returned to his homeland for the first time in 64 years, noting that he was soft to be that he could not really visit Cuba proper.

The Miami legislator asked Noem to provide a report by September 26, detailing if the DHS investigated the names listed, continued the expulsion or deletion procedure and, if not, why no action was taken.
