Thank you,
@POTUS
, for fulfilling your promise & commitment to the Cuban-American community & our long-suffering families in
#Cuba
. The
#BidenHarris
Administration's Cuba policy remains firmly centered on
#humanrights
, & empowering the Cuban people to determine their own future.
That moment when the

Immensely appreciative to

for being so kind & warm with my son David - &
@OrtegaJ46
for capturing the play by play of such a special moment.
I was thrilled to join

Together, we honored the vibrancy, creativity, ingenuity, and optimism of the Hispanic community.
Profoundly grateful to

Matt, my parents fled communism & my family that’s still on the island suffers at the hands of a communist regime. I know communism & socialism when I see it &
@JoeBiden
is no communist or socialist. I also know a dictator in the making when I see one - that’s
@realDonaldTrump
.
Felice I will fight communism until my last breath. I stand w the exhile Cuban community for freedom. You stand w American socialists. I love you but this difference cannot be overlooked. I know Biden was nice to you but socialism is not nice to the rest of us.
The Cuban American community is not a monolith - younger Cuban Americans are more progressive & supportive of

This endorsement means everything to me!!! Thank you Democratic Black Caucus of Florida!! Together, we're going to make history, beat Ron DeSantis, and do so much for so many. Thank you!!!
From investments and tech business to advocacy for Cuban youth and Catholics,
@fgorordo
has been at the forefront of
#SomethingNew
and we welcome his support!
#DeSantis
spokesperson making false claims against Archbishop
@ThomasWenski
is absurd & hypocritical. It’s clear who has the moral authority & I applaud & appreciate the Archbishop for his leadership in pushing back & standing up to politicians trying to weaponize innocent kids
Gov. DeSantis’ office escalated the war of words on Tuesday with the leader of South Florida’s Roman Catholic Church, saying Archbishop Thomas Wenski “lied” when he spoke against an executive action that targets shelters housing unaccompanied migrant youth
Excited to welcome
@VP
Harris back to
#Miami
! Grateful for the Vice President’s continued leadership in combating the

#Florida
is ground zero in this crisis & we need to do all that we can to meet these challenges head on!

is embarrassing himself & insulting Cuban Americans. Does he really believe Cuban kids fleeing violence & oppression are better than Venezuelans or Haitians?

will do nothing to harm the Cuban government & only further inflict pain on the Cuban people - especially during the

@cubanosconbiden
Today, we add seven new subentities to the Cuba Restricted List. We will continue to stop the flow of money into the pockets of those who oppress the Cuban people. 61 years of oppression and dictatorship are enough. To the Cuban people: you deserve better and we stand with you.

Matt, the hypocrisy is with
@realDonaldTrump
who sought to do business with the Cuban government - that’s propping up communism. In the middle of a global pandemic, Trump is now denying Cuban Americans the right to support their families - that just cruel and demagoguery.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, American national security and foreign policy will be led by experienced professionals ready to restore principled leadership on the world stage and dignified leadership at home. Read more:

Everyone knows that we're facing a real crisis from the coronavirus. But do you know how we got here and what we need to do next? Ron Klain, former White House Ebola Response Coordinator, breaks it down for us:
Amid evidence that Trump has expanded his support among Miami-Dade’s Cuban exile community, a counter-movement is afoot to show that there are thousands of Cuban Americans in Florida who believe the president does not have their best interests at heart.
#Trump
has no shame! With less than a week until the
#US
elections,
#Trump
announces new
#Cuba
sanctions that virtually cut off millions of Cuban families from remittances. This is absolutely absurd & will only inflict greater pain & suffering on Cuban & Cuban American families.
First,
@POTUS
will reinstate the Cuban Family Reunification Parole & continue to increase capacity for consular services. Second,
#BidenHarris
Administration will strengthen family ties & facilitate connections for the American & Cuban people by expanding authorized travel.

Third,
@POTUS
will increase support for Cuban civil society, independent entrepreneurs, & changemakers on the island. Fourth,
#BidenHarris
Administration will ensure that remittances flow more freely to the Cuban people while not enriching those who perpetrate human rights abuses
As
@POTUS
implements these important measures in support of the Cuban people, the
#BidenHarris
Administration continues to forcefully push the Cuban regime to respect basic freedom & human rights for all Cubans as they strive to become the authors of their own futures.
I’ve known
@JoeBiden
for a decade & witnessed firsthand his great compassion & empathy for others countless times. It hit home when Joe called my late mom

Moreover,
@POTUS
will remove the current limit on family remittances of $1,000 per quarter per sender-receiver. Important:

Administration will NOT remove entities from the Cuba Restricted List, so remittances through the Cuba's FINCIMEX will remain prohibited.
My mom missed

@POTUS
said “The Cuban Americans are hurting. They’re hurting because their loved ones are suffering, & it’s, quite frankly, intolerable. So, I want the Cuban Americans to know that we - all around this table & myself included - see your pain, we hear your voices…”
Around Labor Day, Joe Biden’s campaign was in a Florida funk. Biden and his campaign didn't take the "socialista" attacks seriously enough, but on-the-ground Latino activists did. It may help him win Florida.
