Inside Cuba’s foreign influence campaign: From the Venceremos Brigade of the 1960s to Saturday in a union hall

The U.S. Treasury Department is investigating Cuban diplomat David Ramírez Álvarez for allegedly coordinating a malign foreign influence campaign in the U.S., linked to Marxist streamer Hasan Piker's March visit to Cuba via the Nuestra América Convoy. A May 2024 event in California, hosted by the U.S. Hands Off Cuba Committee, featured pro-Cuba activism and was attended by CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin, who received a subpoena. The Cuban Embassy denies wrongdoing, citing compliance with the Vienna Convention.
