A top Justice Department prosecutor, Jason Reding Quiñones, has launched a multi-agency inquiry, including the Treasury, State, and DEA, to build criminal cases against Cuban government officials.
This initiative aims to enable the forcible removal of top Cuban leaders, drawing parallels to the operation that deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. The move aligns with President Trump's public assertions that Cuba is on the verge of collapse and is a target for regime change.
Concurrently, Cuban-American lawmakers are advocating for an indictment against Raul Castro, 94, for his alleged involvement in the 1996 shootdown of two civilian aircraft. This development signals a significant escalation in the US stance against the Cuban regime, with potential far-reaching implications for regional stability and US foreign policy.
