Nick Reed 05.21.26 - Raúl Castro Indicted

Hour 1 -

Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

• Former Cuban President Raúl Castro has been indicted in connection to his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two planes operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue.
• Nick plays a newscast from when the two planes were shot down. How did the United States respond?
• Cuban Americans weigh in on how they feel about the Castro indictment.
• On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) discussed possible legal action against Raul Castro and said that “Legal accountability is critical. And, by the way, the Trump administration people may think about that as they undertake illegal wars and illegal actions, for example, the double-tap strike on the two individuals, the drug runners who were clinging to a sinking boat.” And “It is possible that Raul Castro undertook criminal activities, not a concept that would be entirely foreign to the occupant of the Oval Office himself.”
