A former official of Cuba's Communist Party last week entered the United States with plans to retire. Him being allowed to do so has enraged Florida Republicans, who sent a letter to the Biden administration questioning how he was even authorized to enter the country.

The main in question is Manuel Menendez Castellanos, who according to Cuban outlets was a secretary in the party and close to Fidel Castro. The letter was addressed at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. It was signed by Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart, Carlos Giménez and Maríia Elvira Salazar, as well as Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.
