Meanwhile, Cuba’s communist government has become a target of the second Trump administration’s regime change campaign. As the United States’ longest-standing foe in the Americas, and because anti-communist Cuban exiles have been a vocal voting bloc, Cuba’s citizens have long enjoyed privileges here. Since then, it has been no longer customary for Cubans to automatically receive parole when they show up in the United States. And since Trump banned Cubans from entering the U.S. on visas, their decades of privileged status are now a thing of the past. The United States is conducting deportation flights to Cuba, but the island’s government has refused to accept some deportees.
