The leftist Twitch streamer and CodePink co-founder, along with hundreds of others, went to Cuba to deliver humanitarian aid.

Paige Skinner at HuffPost:

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has sent subpoenas to leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin over their March trip to Cuba, according to Fox News. “the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class,” Piker wrote Saturday on X in response to the report. Piker said Sunday on his Instagram story that he hasn’t received a subpoena and on his live Twitch stream Sunday, he said before his trip to Cuba, he cleared it with the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the office that Fox News reported issued the subpoenas. Piker called the alleged subpoenas an “intimidation tactic” from the American government.

Benjamin also said in a statement to HuffPost that she hasn’t been served a subpoena, though “perhaps” one is on its way. The co-founder of the feminist anti-war organization said she traveled to Cuba under the authorized category of providing aid to Cubans and she stayed in a hotel allowed under U.S. regulations. “It is outrageous that the U.S. government would target people for bringing humanitarian aid to suffering Cuban children,” Benjamin said in her statement. “But even more disturbing is the cruel and deeply immoral policy the United States continues to impose on Cuba — a policy designed to strangle the island economically, deprive people of food, fuel, medicine, and basic necessities, and make daily life unbearable.”

[...] Piker and Benjamin’s trip to Cuba was made with Nuestra América Convoy, an international movement formed just a few months ago to bring humanitarian aid to Cuba. More than 600 delegates and 120 organizations participated in the trip, according to The Associated Press. Neither the Treasury Department nor Nuestra América Convoy immediately responded to a request for comment.

The Trump Regime’s subpoenaing of Hasan Piker and Medea Benjamin for delivering aid to Cubans is nakedly authoritarian.

“Instead of Sen. Schumer denouncing Netanyahu, imagine to progress that could be made towards a ceasefire and ending the genocide in Gaza if Biden announced the US was cutting off weapons to Israel.”
