The U.S. government has detained a Cuban national, Carlos Antonio Lloga Domínguez, and his wife and son, for deportation proceedings. The State Department alleges Lloga Domínguez spent over a decade working as a "foreign subversive agent" for the Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples (ICAP).

This week, three Cuban citizens were detained by federal agents after Secretary (of State, Marco) Rubio revoked their legal status.

According to a statement from State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott, ICAP is described as the "main front organization for intelligence and influence of the Cuban communist regime" within the United States. Lloga Domínguez and his family are currently in federal custody awaiting expulsion from the U.S.

Pigott stated that Lloga Domínguez has maintained ties to a "transnational network of communist subversion" throughout his residency in the U.S. The ICAP is among several Cuban state entities recently sanctioned by Secretary Rubio, who characterized it as the "central nucleus of a vast Cuban intelligence and influence operation" allegedly involving over 2,000 organizations in more than 150 countries.

Carlos Antonio Lloga Domínguez spent more than a decade working as a foreign subversive agent for the Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples (ICAP), described by the U.S. as the main front organization for intelligence and influence of the Cuban communist regime in its territory.

The U.S. maintains that ICAP, which Havana describes as an organization fostering diplomacy and solidarity, has a "close and long-standing relationship with Cuban intelligence agents." The statement also noted that ICAP's president is Fernando González Llort, a former member of the Wasp Network, who served over 15 years in U.S. prison before his release. The U.S. asserts ICAP disseminates "vile anti-American propaganda" and pressures U.S. politicians on behalf of the Cuban government.

Under the (President Donald) Trump Administration, the United States will never be a haven for the thugs of the Cuban communist regime who spread propaganda, direct foreign influence operations, or pretend to promote a revolution against American civilization.
