A piece of soccer history made its way to Miami! We're proud to be part of securing "the beautiful game!" Miami CBP officers got the chance to hold one of the world's oldest soccer balls--nearly 500+ years old--as the world comes together for @FIFAWorldCup 2026.

The Castro regime imprisoned 17-year-old Jonathan David Muir Burgos nearly 4 months ago for simply demanding freedom in his country. He should never have been imprisoned, and I am relieved he was finally released. I hope he was able to quickly reunite with his parents.

El régimen castrista encarceló al joven de 17 años Jonathan David Muir Burgos hace casi cuatro meses simplemente por exigir libertad para su país. Nunca debió haber sido encarcelado, y me alegra que finalmente haya sido liberado. Espero que haya podido reunirse rápidamente con

El menor de edad, Jonathan David Muir Burgos, lleva más de 3 meses injustamente encarcelado por la dictadura en Cuba. Cumplió sus 17 años en una celda el 28 de mayo. Es indignante y un contundente recordatorio de que el despiadado régimen castrista no respeta la vida humana, la

🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court rules that the Helms‑Burton Act itself strips Cuban state‑owned companies of sovereign immunity, allowing Exxon’s billion‑dollar lawsuit over property seized after Castro’s 1960 nationalizations to proceed in U.S. courts.
