Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez denounces persecution of migrants in the United States

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has denounced the persecution of migrants as a reality faced by many Cubans in the United States.

“Betrayed and abandoned by those who encouraged them to migrate under false campaign promises, they are now being arrested, beaten, and forcibly deported to third countries,” he wrote on his social media profile.

Since taking office, U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a deportation campaign targeting millions of migrants seeking safety.

His plans are based on mass arrests, detentions, and deportations, targeting both long-time residents and recent arrivals. Their actions deprive migrants and asylum seekers of the opportunity to seek protection, subject them to arbitrary detention and racial profiling, return them to dangerous situations, separate families, destroy communities, spread fear, and undermine human security, prosperity, and dignity.
