“It’s each disappointing and troubling that Congressman Giménez—co-sponsor of the Safety Act of 2023—has failed to make use of his chairmanship of the Home Homeland Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Safety to, on the very least, criticize and expose Crowley’s function in propping up and doing enterprise with the regime. His willful blindness, given his duty for maritime safety and his private connection to the Cuban- American group, represents a critical failure to confront each a transparent nationwide safety menace and a profound ethical challenge.”
“It’s much more disconcerting that Giménez had a number of alternatives to scrutinize Crowley’s actions in Cuba—significantly throughout the Joint Area Listening to on Port Security, Safety, and Infrastructure Funding on April 5, 2024, the place James C. Fowler, Senior Vice President and Normal Supervisor of Crowley Delivery, was a panelist. But neither Congressman Giménez nor his shut ally, Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart, questioned Fowler about Crowley’s Cuban operations or associated safety dangers, together with potential vulnerabilities whereas subcontracting for the Division of Protection. Including insult to harm, Diaz-Balart has obtained marketing campaign contributions from Crowley.”
“Amongst sure Cuban-American politicians and ‘influencers,’ it has turn out to be a development to base their whole enchantment on ‘opposition’ rhetoric to the regime. This degree of inaction leads many to consider that, to them, it’s nothing greater than money register politics,” Stone concluded.

Cuba’s function as a proxy for U.S. adversaries—internet hosting Russian naval visits, Iranian diplomatic ties, and Chinese language SIGINT websites—makes Crowley’s dealings a geopolitical legal responsibility.
