South Florida sent shockwaves to the White House after Cuban regime operatives took a tour of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) facilities and U.S. security areas at Miami International Airport. Subsequently, Florida Republicans questioned Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and vowed to launch an investigation. Florida Senator Rick Scott how now introduced the SAFE U.S. Facilities Act to limit federal funding for events involving foreign officials.
Named the Stopping Adversaries From Exploring (SAFE) U.S. Facilities Act, the bill aims to limit federal funding for events involving foreign officials who are deemed adversarial to the United States, pointing out China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, and other State Sponsors of Senator.
Senator Scott introduced the bill this week, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) is a cosponsor of the bill.
Senator Scott commented on the bill, expressing that "it should infuriate every American that the Biden-Harris administration granted operatives representing the illegitimate communist Cuban regime a VIP tour of U.S. security areas at Miami International Airport, all at the expense of the American taxpayer." He further explained that the bill would "block federal funding for these events with adversarial nations, effectively stopping what happened at Miami International Airport from ever happening again."
Senator Rubio weighed in on the situation, commenting that "under no circumstances should U.S. federal agencies grant security access to those who wish to do us harm." "It's unacceptable that the Biden-Harris Administration has allowed our adversaries to tour sensitives areas, including members of the Cuban regime at Miami International Airport."
After news spread about the delegation of Cuban regime officials that took a tour of the TSA facilities at Miami International Airport, Senator Scott joined others in sending a letter to Secretary Mayorkas and TSA Administration David Pekoske over the "serious national threat."
