Cuban Foreign Agent Detained by U.S. State Department for Deportation
Carlos Antonio Lloga Dominguez, a Cuban national who served as a foreign agent for the communist Castro regime, has been detained by the U.S. State Department along with his family. The announcement came on Wednesday, revealing that their legal status in the United States has been terminated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, resulting in their pending deportation.
Lloga Dominguez was employed by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), an organization established in December 1960 by Fidel Castro. ICAP is known for its role in promoting leftist ideologies and has been described as a key player in a vast international influence network that spans over 2,000 organizations in more than 150 countries. The State Department recently sanctioned ICAP, along with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and members of the Castro family, for their involvement in anti-American activities.
The State Department highlighted ICAP's close ties to Cuban intelligence, noting that its current president, Fernando González Llort, is a convicted spy who served time in the U.S. for his involvement in the Wasp Network, a significant espionage operation uncovered in Florida in the late 1990s. ICAP is accused of disseminating anti-American propaganda, fostering pro-Cuban regime activism, and lobbying U.S. politicians on behalf of the Cuban government.
Secretary Rubio emphasized that the U.S. will not provide refuge to foreign agents promoting subversive activities. He stated, "America will never become home for foreign communists who peddle propaganda, run subversive influence operations, or support radical anti-American movements within the United States."
The State Department also warned that individuals involved with ICAP's anti-American efforts should expect deportation. Reports indicate that ICAP has collaborated with various American non-profits to support the Cuban Communist Party, with some organizations linked to tech billionaire Neville Roy Singham, who is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Fox News has reported that ICAP has coordinated with numerous U.S. organizations, with a collective revenue of about $1 billion, to promote the Cuban regime. The U.S. government has taken additional steps by sanctioning ICAP's subsidiary, Amistur Cuba, along with other key institutions involved in the repression of the Cuban people.
