Wait 5 sec.

Credit: White HouseSecretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked the legal status of an alleged Cuban Communist influence operative, resulting in federal agents taking the man, his wife, and their son into custody pending removal from the United States in yet another major national security action by the Trump administration.According to the State Department, Carlos Antonio Lloga Dominguez, a Cuban national who spent more than a decade working as a “foreign subversive” for the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the People (ICAP), the regime’s premier influence and intelligence front group operating on American soil, has been taken into federal custody along with his wife and son. All three are now in federal immigration custody pending removal from the United States.The State Department announced the action on Wednesday after Rubio terminated their legal status. This is America First leadership in action.Official Statement from the U.S. State Department:“This week, three Cuban nationals were apprehended by federal agents following Secretary Rubio’s termination of their legal status. Carlos Antonio Lloga Dominguez – who spent more than a decade working as a foreign subversive for the Communist Cuban regime’s premier influence and intelligence front group in the United States – and his wife and son are now in federal custody pending removal from our country.Lloga Dominguez spent more than a decade employed by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the People (ICAP). He has continued to maintain ties to the transnational communist subversion network throughout his time residing in our nation.ICAP, which Secretary Rubio designated for sanctions under Executive Order 14404 earlier this month, is the central node in a sprawling Cuban intelligence and influence operation, claiming to span more than 2,000 organizations across more than 150 countries.The organization has a long and intimate relationship with Cuban intelligence agents; in fact, ICAP’s current president, Fernando González Llort, is a convicted Cuban spy who served 15 years in U.S. prison for his role in the infamous Wasp Network — a massive illegal Cuban spy ring uncovered in Florida in the late 1990s.Working in close coordination with the Cuban communist regime, ICAP maintains an outsized footprint across the United States, trafficking in vile anti-American propaganda, cultivating pro-Havana regime activists and politicians, and lobbying federal, state and local politicians on behalf of the Cuban dictatorship.The organization facilitates close working relationships between Havana and radical U.S. groups, using America’s far left milieu as a vehicle to export Cuba’s Communist revolution to the United States.Under the Trump Administration, America will never become home for Cuban Communist regime thugs who peddle propaganda, run foreign influence operations, or seek to wage revolution against American civilization.As a reminder, pursuant to Executive Order 14404, all ICAP property and interests in property are blocked and any transactions with ICAP are prohibited absent an express authorization by the Departments of Treasury or State. And any foreign aliens involved in ICAP’s anti-American subversion operations should expect to soon find themselves on an ICE deportation flight.”The post Rubio Revokes Legal Status of Alleged Cuban Communist Influence Operative as Feds Take Him and Family Into Custody appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
