After it was revealed several members of the far-left congressional “Squad” quietly slipped into Communist Cuba for meetings with leaders of the state sponsor of terrorism, a nonprofit public interest law firm is suing for U.S. government records on the clandestine trip.
Judicial Watch announced it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. State Department for “all records related to the secretive trip in February 2024 of a Congressional Progressive Caucus delegation to communist Cuba led by Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).”

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).”
“Extreme Leftist members of Congress traveled to Cuba to provide aid and comfort the terrorist-supporting, murderous Communist regime. What is the Biden-Harris administration hiding about this scandalous, taxpayer-funded trip?” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch reports they filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia “after the State Department failed to adequately respond to a February 28, 2024, FOIA request for:
All records related to the Congressional Delegation to Cuba in February 2024. For purposes of clarification, the delegation included Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, and others…This request includes, but is not limited to, all related agendas, briefing materials, and records of communication.
“The trip had not been reported in Cuban state media until the Miami Herald reported on February 27, 2024, that Omar and Jayapal led a delegation of about a dozen people who visited the communist island which has been under U.S. embargo for more than 60 years. The delegation to Cuba included a congressional staffer from the office of Rep. Barbara Lee’s (D-CA) office,” Judicial Watch reports.
“Jayapal, who chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Omar have criticized the embargo and have advocated for the removal of the Communist-controlled Cuba from the U.S. list of nations which sponsor terrorism,” Judicial Watch added.
The New York Post noted at the time, “The mysterious trip, which took place during a week when the House was in recess, also overlapped with a visit to Havana by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.”
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, the son of Cuban immigrants, wrote on X: “Pro-Hamas members of Marxist congressional squad just returned from a secret visit with anti-American dictatorship in Cuba.”
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) wrote on X: “It’s outrageous that Members of Congress would visit a country that jails, abuses, and murders their citizens and supports Iran, Russia and Communist China against our interests. Perhaps their time would be better spent listening to the Cubans crossing our southern border & risking their lives on makeshift rafts to find out why they’re fleeing Communism.”
