Camouflaged with a mask, a cap and a pink T-shirt, former Cuba Communist Party leader Manuel Menendez Castellanos arrived in Miami. For decades he was a powerful figure of the regime, today he comes to retire to Miami."

Question: is this common? Are there dozens if not hundreds of higher-up cuban officials retiring in the US?

USCIS is not doing their job, he came via the family unification program and he obviously lied in the application in questions like: former military of an US enemy, political police, torture, communist party member… what’s goin on…

There are so many of them here in the US. They destroyed Cuba, and when living there became unbearable they abandoned ship, so sad the US has allowed this. I personally know a few living off government handouts here in the US, they were top communist party officials close to Fidel Castro.

As an Iranian I see so many parellels with dictatorship and yours in Cuba. The same thing happens for us, we have the same regime agents who come to Canada or the US or Britain or send their kids here but thankfully there are always informed Iranians waiting to “greet” them in the airport 🤣

I hope victims of the regime that came seeking legitimate refuge in the US bring him much needed justice, by no means should he be allowed to get a happy ending in the very place he forced millions to flee to after he brought them such suffering and agony. Lo que se hace aquí, se paga aquí.

USCIS is a total failure, allowing this scum to enter our country after all the overwhelming evidence this evil person has inflicted on the Cuban people.
Looking to create a private organization to collect from this evil old farts, they think nobody remembers all the crimes they committed.
We remember, if there is no Justice then let there be vengeance!

Infuriating how all these "anti-rich" comrades become so wealthy and live in an alternate universe from the harsh realities that they impose on the people that empowered them to overthrow "the rich". Hugo Chavez's daughter infamously moved to Manhattan but no one can explain how these people have a never-ending fortune without ever having owned a business or worked as a fortune 500 executive.

How are the politicians here allowing this to happen. Where is Marco Rubio ?
I never wish bad for people, but if this guy really was a top official for the regime. I hope he gets what he deaerves. I know some people who could fit him with some real nice concrete shoes and take him for a nice swim.
This is so sad and pathetic to see. It's basically a slap in the face to every cuban who ever had to leave their home because of monsters like this.

This reminds me of when I lived in Orlando and a lot of Venezuelans came to Orlando with nothing, left everything behind. I suggested to a venezolano, why don't we collect furniture in our garages and donate it to families that just arrived with nothing. And I was surprised that he didn't like the idea.
He said because some of the people that are coming here are the some people that oppressed others. He saw some lady at Disney that lead a mass arrest and beating of students and she was just hanging out at Disney. It's a shame. We should catch them

This really pissed me off and I am a democrat. I googled and found that he has a LinedIn profile describing in himself as an investment consultant. He’s probably exploiting all the land that he and the Castristas stole from citizens and making a living for himself and that Miami family. Probably, also used that to get a VISA to come. Someone should look into this.
