Despite the uproar surrounding his recent arrival in the United States, Cuban actor Alejandro Cuervo spent this past weekend sharing a series of photos where he appears calm and cheerful at Brickell City Centre in Miami. Sporting a patterned shirt, black pants, and sporty sneakers, Cuervo confidently posed against the backdrop of the stunning skyscrapers in one of the city's most exclusive areas. In these images, the actor seems relaxed and unfazed by the torrent of comments his arrival in the U.S. has sparked.
While many of his followers congratulated him on this new journey and defended him against the criticism, a significant number lashed out at Cuervo for being in Miami. Comments included, "How did you get to the USA so easily, probably a work contract"; "Another communist in the city of exile"; "I don't understand how this government lets these types in while people who truly need to be here are deported"; "That was pure intelligence. He was preparing the ground and misleading the communists"; "In my opinion, another opportunist taking advantage"; "The apparatus entering Miami, they just keep coming, they might as well set up an office here directly."
Cuervo's post comes at a time of intense criticism from many Cubans both on and off the island, who question his presence in the U.S. amid a complex migratory context where thousands of Cubans face the threat of deportation and the Trump administration has imposed new travel restrictions on Cuban citizens. Nonetheless, the primary criticism from the Cuban exile community towards Cuervo centers on his lack of a critical stance against the island's dictatorship and his decision to remain politically detached and uninvolved.
Although the actor has not made any public statements regarding the controversy on social media or revealed whether his trip is meant for permanent residence or merely a tourist visit, his recent posts seem to convey a clear message: he is relishing his time in Miami despite the media storm.
