English/Español: Rubio Welcomes Sanctions Designation of Raúl Castro and His Immediate Family
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the State Department designated former Cuban dictator and current First Secretary of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces Raúl Castro for “his involvement in corruption and gross violation of human rights” against Cuban nationals. Today’s measure also includes public designations against Castro’s immediate family members, including his children, Alejandro Castro Espín, Deborah Castro Espín, Mariela Castro Espín, and Nilsa Castro Espín. Pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the FY 2019 Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, these sanctions for significant corruption or gross violations of human rights make designated foreign government officials and their immediate family members ineligible for entry into the United States.
Fidel and Raúl Castro were directly responsible for the murder of three American citizens and a U.S. legal resident who were leading a humanitarian mission to save Cuban lives through the organization Brothers to the Rescue.
“Entrance to the United States is a privilege that should be denied to any murderous dictator. Raúl Castro’s involvement in grotesque human rights violations and his complicity with terrorist organizations including the ELN, the FARC, and his link to the Maduro regime evidence the threat he poses to the United States. I welcome the Administration’s decision to revoke the admission of Castro and his immediate family members.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues. He is also a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs.

RUBIO APLAUDE SANCIONES A RAÚL CASTRO Y SU FAMILIA INMEDIATA
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) publicó el siguiente comunicado después que el Secretario de Estado Mike Pompeo anunciara que el Departamento de Estado designó al ex dictador cubano y actual Primer Secretario de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias Cubanas Raúl Castro “por su participación en actos de corrupción y por violación de los derechos humanos de ciudadanos cubanos”. La medida de hoy también incluye designaciones públicas contra los familiares inmediatos de Castro, incluyendo a sus hijos, Alejandro Castro Espín, Deborah Castro Espín, Mariela Castro Espín y Nilsa Castro Espín. En conformidad con la Sección 7031 (c) de la Ley de Asignaciones de Programas de Operaciones Extranjeras y Programas Afines del Año Fiscal 2019.
Fidel y Raúl Castro fueron directamente responsables del asesinato de tres ciudadanos estadounidenses y un residente legal de los Estados Unidos que lideraban una misión humanitaria para salvar vidas cubanas a través de la organización Hermanos al Rescate.
“La entrada a los Estados Unidos es un privilegio que debe ser negado a cualquier dictador asesino. La participación de Raúl Castro en violaciones grotescas de los derechos humanos y su complicidad con organizaciones terroristas como el ELN, las FARC y su vínculo con el régimen de Maduro evidencian la amenaza que representa para los Estados Unidos. Aplaudo la decisión de la administración por revocarle la admisión de Castro y sus familiares inmediatos”.
Rubio es el Presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer. El senador también es miembro del Subcomité de Asignaciones del Senado sobre programas estatales, operaciones en el extranjero y otros programas relacionados.
