Four people left a Florida dock Monday morning on a mission to rescue their family members from communist Cuba. They're coming home in body bags.
Cuban border guards intercepted an American-registered speedboat off the coast of Villa Clara province near Cayo Falcones and opened fire, killing four and severely wounding six others. According to reports, these weren't smugglers or soldiers — they were civilians, mothers, fathers, and brothers trying to extract their loved ones from a dictatorship that has terrorized its own people for sixty-five years.
And the mainstream media almost buried it completely.
Castro's Heirs Claim Self-Defense — Do You Believe Them?
Cuba's Ministry of Interior is spinning the narrative hard, claiming the Florida-registered speedboat violated territorial waters and that the crew fired first. That's the official account from a communist regime that has lied to the entire world since 1959.
Florida Congressman Carlos Gimenez isn't buying it for a second. The Republican called it exactly what it is: murder.
"The dictatorship in Cuba has just attacked a boat from Florida and murdered those on board. This regime must be relegated to the dustbin of history."
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer announced his office is launching a full investigation into the killings, telling Fox News that "Havana is not an honest neighbor." That might be the understatement of the century.
Rubio's Warning Should Terrify Havana
Vice President JD Vance confirmed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally briefed him on the incident, though Washington admits it doesn't have the full picture yet.
Rubio addressed the nation with measured words — but anyone paying attention heard the steel underneath them:
"The majority of the facts we currently possess are what Cuban authorities are providing. We will verify that independently. As we gather more information, we will be prepared to respond accordingly."
Translation? We're going to find out if you're lying. And then Cuba is going to find out what happens next.
This Administration Doesn't Bluff
Here's what the corporate media won't tell you: This is the same Trump administration that launched Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran. This is the same president who deployed carrier strike groups to remove Maduro from power in Venezuela.
Donald Trump has already shown the world exactly what happens when foreign governments cross American red lines. The last two regimes that tested this president? They're no longer in power.
The burning question in Washington tonight: Does Cuba understand what comes next?
The Questions That Demand Answers
Critical details remain unknown. Was the speedboat inside or outside Cuba's twelve-nautical-mile territorial boundary? Satellite data and AIS tracking could reveal the truth — and expose whether Havana is lying through its teeth.
Were the victims American citizens? Legal residents? If Americans died at the hands of Cuban forces in international waters, this isn't a diplomatic incident. It's an act of war against American civilians.
Cuba is ninety miles from Key West, Patriots. Your neighbors could have been on that boat. People from your community, your church, your city could have been the ones who left that Florida dock trying to save someone they loved.
The silence from the corporate press is deafening — but not surprising. They'd rather protect a communist regime's narrative than demand justice for dead Americans.
President Trump has never been one to let American blood go unanswered. Venezuela learned that lesson. Iran is learning it now.
Cuba better be paying attention.
