Congressman Carlos Gimenez recently joined the Pichy Boys podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including a new list he plans to submit to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) containing names of individuals associated with the Castro regime who are residing in the United States. "We are going to provide more names because there are people who were part of the regime in Cuba and are now enjoying the freedoms we have here in the U.S.," the congressman stated. "If they were defending the regime in Cuba, they should stay in Cuba," he added.
Gimenez emphasized that his list sends a strong message: "If you are going to be part of the regime, you will suffer with the people" and will not enjoy a lavish retirement in the U.S. "The regime is in a very difficult, poor state, and we aim to push them further. They are already on the edge, and we're going to help with that," he declared. Gimenez argued that remittances should cease, as they support the regime financially. "Also, flights—many individuals are traveling with packages, etc., to conduct business there," he noted.
Deportations and Immigration Policy
Gimenez expressed his support for deporting criminal migrants, gang members, or individuals with deportation orders. However, he criticized the Trump Administration for crossing the line, suggesting it is unjust to deport long-term residents with jobs and clean records. "I plan to work within the system, with the White House. I've said: hey, this isn't right, we need to adjust this. I believe it's more effective if handled this way," he commented, referring to his relationship with the Trump Administration.
Introducing a New List of Regime Associates
At the end of July, Gimenez announced plans to submit a new list of regime associates, including repressors, henchmen, and frontmen of the Cuban regime, to the DHS. This initiative aims to identify those who have infiltrated the country. "These are verified complaints with evidence, and actions have already been taken in several cases," he affirmed on social media platform X, urging the public to assist in identifying communists on American soil.
According to recent reports from the Cuban exile community, at least 100 repressors linked to the Castro regime have settled in the United States in recent years, particularly in cities like Miami and Tampa. This has sparked strong opposition among victims of repression and human rights organizations. Gimenez, along with Congressmen Mario Diaz-Balart and Maria Elvira Salazar, has called for tougher actions against these individuals, urging immigration authorities to investigate and deport those who lied about their backgrounds upon entering the U.S.
Recently, the arrest of former Cuban major Rogelio Bolufé in Hialeah made headlines. Lacking residency or a work permit, he was detained for cocaine possession. ICE is currently considering his deportation to Mexico or Ecuador, rather than Cuba.
