Federal agents apprehend former Cuban Castro regime intelligence officer allowed into U.S. by Biden admin

It had been broadly understood over the past few years that former President Joe Biden's decidedly lax immigration enforcement policies had resulted in the welcome admission into the U.S. of innumerable undesirable migrants, including criminals and terrorists, but the full extent of the Biden-Harris administration's failures in that regard is still being uncovered.

On Wednesday, it was revealed by Homeland Security Investigations-Miami along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement that a former intelligence officer from the communist Castro regime in Cuba had been arrested for fraudulently obtaining legal migrant status, according to Breitbart.

The detained individual has not yet been publicly identified, but it is believed by some officials that he, along with several other former members of the communist Castro regime, were granted entry into the U.S. within the past few years by the prior administration.

Former Castro official now in custody

In a Wednesday afternoon X post, HSI-Miami announced, "This morning, ICE HSI & FBI administratively arrested a former member of Cuban intelligence for fraudulently obtaining his [Legal Permanent Resident] status. HSI and its partners will continue their efforts to identify and arrest individuals who pose a threat to our national security."

The post included a photo of an unidentifiable older man in handcuffs with his back turned toward the camera while being patted down by multiple federal agents.

The comments in reply to that post were filled with congratulatory messages, urgent pleas for other former Castro regime officials to be located and detained in Miami and other South Florida cities, and even a few tips on where some of those wanted individuals were allegedly located.

That includes a response from Cuban-American Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), who said, "There are hundreds of agents of the murderous Castro dictatorship, who now live in our community of victims & survivors that fled the regime. These thugs must be arrested & deported for violating our laws! Thank you for your service -- it does not go unnoticed!"

Congressman calls out Biden for allowing Cuban "repressors" entry into the U.S.

Shortly after HSI-Miami made that announcement on Wednesday, Rep. Gimenez posted in Spanish on his official X account, "I have been told that the @FBIMiamiFL has just arrested an agent of the Castro dictatorship who had infiltrated our community by lying on his immigration application."

"Biden allowed our country to become overrun by these repressors, and now we are working with the Trump Administration to remove these agents from our nation's regime," he added.

In a follow-up post just a few hours later, the Republican congressman whose family escaped the oppressive brutality of the communist Castro regime for the freedom of America decades earlier urged his followers in Spanish, "I repeat, if you know any repressor of the murderous dictatorship in #Cuba, who is now living in the United States, please report him here," and added, "Agents of the regime have no place in our community of victims of these scoundrels!"

Gimenez's post included a link to a list of approximately 1,000 known and verified former Castro regime officials living abroad outside of Cuba, of which at least 115 were suspected of being allowed entry into the U.S. by the Biden-Harris administration since 2023.

Biden-Harris admin denounced by pro-human rights groups

The list shared by Rep. Gimenez was compiled by an organization known as the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba, which called out the disturbing development of former Castro officials being granted entry into the U.S. last August, with group director Tony Costa saying at that time, "We have identified more than 1,000 repressors of the Cuban regime and more than 115 who have entered this country last year, many of them lying."

The FHRC was joined in condemning the Biden-Harris administration's "alarming trend" by the Patmos Institute, a non-governmental organization focused on human rights and religious freedom.

That organization's director, Mario Félix Lleonart, said at the time, "We are alarmed at what are no longer two, not three, not four cases, but we constantly see how officials, even high-ranking officials," were being granted entry and fraudulent legal status by the prior administration while the average Cuban citizen suffering under communist oppression were barred from migrating to the U.S.
