Members of Florida’s Republican congressional delegation are demanding answers from the Biden-Harris administration as to why a Cuban Communist Party official was allowed into the U.S. in violation of federal law.
Another delegation led by Florida’s U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, is demanding the administration deny visas and entry into the U.S. to “evil dictators” who present a national security threat.
Writing to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the mostly Cuban-American delegation expressed their “profound disgust” after learning that a “high-level, longtime Cuban Communist Party operative” was allowed into the U.S.
According to news reports, a high-level Cuban Communist Party operative, Manuel Menendez Castellanos, entered the U.S. at the Miami International Airport. U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott and U.S. Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart, Carolos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar said doing so violated federal law. They pointed to federal immigration law, which states “any immigrant who is or has been a member of or affiliated with the Communist or any other totalitarian party … domestic or foreign, is inadmissible.”
