Following the attacks on both Venezuela and Iran, is Cuba next? The LMC breaks down the latest on Cuba by speaking with freelance writer Arturo Dominguez to discuss the divide between Cuban-American hardliners and Cubanos on the island over the future of the country’s sovereignty.
On this episode of the LMC, Yesenia Portillo, the program director for CISPES, speaks about the horrors, human rights abuses, and disappearances of innocent people at the CECOT prison in El Salvador and how Nayib Bukele is using his gulag to both maintain his power and work at the service of the Trump administration.
