Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments

Source: Washington Post

Updated March 6, 2026 at 6:49 p.m. EST


The Justice Department has formed a working group to examine possible federal charges against officials or entities within Cuba’s government, according to an official familiar with the group. The formation of the group could be a significant step in the Trump administration’s public push to topple the regime in Cuba.

Officials from government agencies including the Treasury Department will be part of the recently formed group. Treasury’s involvement could mean the Trump administration is considering further sanctions against Cuba, already the subject of intense U.S. economic sanctions.

The working group is exploring potential crimes related to immigration, economics and more. Another person familiar with the working group said federal prosecutors in Florida are also working with local partners in the state to bring potential charges against Cuban officials.

The effort to bring charges against Cuban officials coincides with President Donald Trump saying that his administration is eyeing Cuba as the next country whose government might be overthrown, following the capture of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro in early January and the killing of Iran’s supreme leader last Saturday.

Maybe Justice doesn't need to look 90 miles away for criminals ,when King Pervert is right in town..

This is a diversion from Epstein /Trump rape club investigation, just like the war.

Talk to the Rapist's victims before going out of country to avoid Investigating. trying and locking him away from every 12 old in this country.... THAT would be Justice.

It's Miguel Díaz-Canel, who was educated as an electronics engineer.

This is just another distraction from the tRump-Epstein Files.

Someone and their associates are now in Donnie’s sights for revenge. He doesn’t do anything unless it’s in response to him looking bad for something. Unfortunately for the world, he, much like his autocratic counterparts, doesn’t have the mental capacity to look on the mirror.

One thing we can be sure of: whatever he is doing has nothing to do with the welfare and security of the American people, never mind the rest of the world.
