MIAMI — U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is urging the FBI to open an “immediate” investigation into a U.S. anti-embargo group whose members recently met Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel, claiming that they are acting as unregistered foreign agents of the Cuban government.
In a letter sent Monday to the FBI and obtained by the Miami Herald, Rubio, a Cuban American Republican from Florida, urged FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate the members and activities of Puentes de Amor — Bridges of Love — stressing the group has “well-known associations with the Cuban regime.”
The Foreign Agents Registration Act requires people and entities working as “agents” acting under the direction of foreign governments or organizations to register with the U.S. Department of Justice. Activities that require registration include political work intended to influence U.S. foreign policy.
