This administration’s work to free the Western Hemisphere from dictators, cartels, traffickers, and corrupt regimes is unmatched.
Accountability doesn’t expire. Not after 30 years. Not when American civilians are attacked. Not when families are still waiting for justice.
Bad day to be a bad guy.

In 1996, four Brothers to the Rescue members, including three U.S. citizens, took off from Florida on a humanitarian mission to help rafters fleeing Castro’s Cuba. Cuban MiGs shot their civilian planes out of the sky over international waters. Carlos Costa. Armando Alejandro Jr. Mario de la Peña. Pablo Morales. For 30 years, their families waited for answers. This FBI never forgot. Today’s of superseding indictment charges Raul Castro and five Castro regime co-defendants with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, two counts of destruction of aircraft, and four counts of murder and is a major step toward accountability.
