    They’re killing people to that are trying to evacuate Cubans. Most likely their family members. So that’s great…

      after it failed to obey orders to stop in territorial waters and opened fire on the police vessel,

      Yeah, sure. Someone trying to pick up family members opened fire on a police boat.

        I was referring to this:

        “Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as ‘territorial violations and human trafficking.’”

          Houston’s strip clubs and brothels are packed to overflowing with “Rescued Cubans”. Miami, Atlanta, and New Orleans, too.

          The US cartels and the CIA have been flesh-peddling naive young people out of Cuba for decades. It is absolutely human trafficking.

          Uh. Do you not see how this is incredibly contradictory. How could people move migrants from Cuba to Florida if they abandon the boats on the North shore of Cuba?!
