WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem urging her to immediately investigate and deport agents of the Castro regime. Congressman Gimenez has provided the Secretary with a list of individuals with direct ties to the regime’s repressive apparatus.
Currently, regime agents who previously upheld the Castro dictatorship’s brutal policies have exploited U.S. immigration laws to gain entry into our country. These Cuban regime agents must immediately be identified, investigated, and deported
On March 14, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Tomas Emilio Hernandez Cruz, an agent of the Castro intelligence sphere residing in South Florida. Cruz is in ICE custody pending deportation orders.
Congressman Carlos Gimenez will continue to work closely with the Department of Homeland Security to further identify regime agents of terrorist regimes like Castro's Cuba, Maduro's Venezuela, and Ortega's Nicaragua, that have defrauded U.S. immigration laws and that are residing in our communities.
“Like so many in our community, I was forced from my native homeland of Cuba shortly after the Communist Revolution & it is absolutely reprehensible how agents of the murderous Castro regime have gamed our immigration laws to infiltrate our country,” said Congressman Carlos Gimenez. “I applaud President Trump and his Administration for the swift action in recently apprehending an intelligence agent of the Cuban dictatorship living in South Florida and I look forward to continuing working closely together to identify, detain, and repatriate these despicable fraudsters living in our country.”
