Cuba’s top spy in the United States will be freed from prison on Jan. 8 after serving just 20 years in a federal prison in Texas. She is said to be coming to Miami, briefly. If she comes, she should keep on moving for the repressive regime for which she betrayed us. She rightly will be persona non grata.
Ana Belen Montes was required to serve most of the 25 years to which a Washington judge sentenced her for passing U.S. government secrets to Cuba.
Throughout the 1990s, Montes was a top intelligence analyst and Cuba expert for the Defense Intelligence Agency and then the State Department. At the same time, she spied for the Cuban government, passing secrets to them, which she memorized during the day in her cubicle and transcribed at home at night for her Cuban handlers, with whom she communicated through coded messages over shortwave radio.
