Speaking from Miami’s Freedom Tower – where over 400,000 Cubans fleeing the revolution were processed – Blanche said: “For nearly 30 years, the families of four murdered Americans waited for justice. The US and President Trump do not and will not forget its citizens … If you kill Americans, we will pursue you no matter the charge you hold and in this case, no matter how much time has passed.” Blanche said the indictment was intended to lead to Castro’s eventual arrest and prosecution in the United States. “This isn’t a show indictment,” Blanche told reporters. “We expect that he will show up here by his own will or by another way and go to prison.”
