On Tuesday, veteran political strategist and Trump adviser Roger Stone published an exclusive bombshell report scrutinizing Florida Congressman Carlos Giménez (FL-28) for turning a blind eye as Crowley Maritime Corporation—a Florida-based Department of Defense contractor—runs cargo and freight operations in Cuba’s Mariel Port under the direct supervision of the Cuban military.
Crowley Maritime, a DoD contractor holding $2.3 billion in Defense Freight Transportation Services (DFTS) contracts and $343 million in Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) contracts, has operated in Cuba since 2001 under authorization from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Its operations in Cuba, where the Castro regime military collaborates with China, Russia, and Iran, risk espionage, especially given Chinese intelligence facilities near Havana.
As detailed in Stone’s report, “Cuba’s Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) sites—Bejucal, Wajay, Calabazar, and El Salao—have been active since 1992, with major upgrades in 2019 and 2025. These facilities intercept U.S. military communications, track rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, and spy on Guantánamo Bay. Bejucal now hosts a new Circularly Disposed Antenna Array (CDAA), while Wajay’s expanded 12-antenna complex greatly enhances Cuba’s surveillance reach.”
Stone also drew attention to a photograph showing Cuban dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez participating in a Crowley Maritime Co. event in Havana—an image that starkly underscores the blatant and alarming Cuba–Crowley–DoD nexus.
When reached for comment, Stone said,
“It is both disappointing and troubling that Congressman Giménez—co-sponsor of the Security Act of 2023—has failed to use his chairmanship of the House Homeland Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security to, at the very least, criticize and expose Crowley’s role in propping up and doing business with the regime. His willful blindness, given his responsibility for maritime security and his personal connection to the Cuban- American community, represents a serious failure to confront both a clear national security threat and a profound moral issue.”

Carlos Giménez - You’re fired!
There goes another CIA front company, you goof Stone….
Yet another good reason that foreign born (or “anchor babies”) should not be allowed to hold National or State office. I’d rather they not hold local office either, but I guess I’m willing to let municipalities decide if they want foreigners to rule over them.
And I don’t care if they ARE Republicans, even fairly good (occasionally), ones like Cruz and Rubio.
“And I don’t care if they ARE Republicans, even fairly good (occasionally), ones like Cruz and Rubio.”
Agree. We have Spartz for Ukraine, Omar for Somalia, and Tlaib for Palestine. Divided loyalties, if they have any at all to the USA. .
If the US had a real merchant marine fleet manned by Naval Reserve officers, as it was in the past, this wouldn’t be an issue at all.
Outsourcing critical government and military capabilities has always been short sighted and self defeating.
I’ve never heard him say anything positive about Castro’s Cuba to present day. I’m surprised at Gimenez’s stance on this .
I’d like to hear his side.
