Ironically, it happened on May 20, when the country should be celebrating its independence, but it's a day that the regime refuses to acknowledge.

"Today marks the beginning of the end for the Castro family," Rep. María Salazar said, following the big news on Wednesday.  

In case you missed it, that big news was the Department of Justice (DOJ) announcing that it was charging Raúl Castro with conspiracy to kill US nationals, destruction of aircraft, and murder for his role in the shooting down of two civilian humanitarian planes that belonged to the group Brothers to the Rescue in 1996. At the time, Castro was Cuba's minister of defense and ordered the attack. Three US citizens and a permanent resident lost their lives.

Four other presidents could have done this but chose not to. As Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said today, "The United States and Donald Trump will not forget its citizens. If you kill Americans, we will pursue you, no matter who you are or no matter what title you hold, and in this case, no matter how much time has passed."

The response from the Cuban exile community has been something to watch. This particular interview from Fox News on Wednesday with Cuban-American Oscar Fernandez, following the DOJ announcement, was particularly touching. The man was so choked up, he could barely speak.

"It means some justice for the Cuban people. For 67 years, we have been ignored by everybody—the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the European Union, everybody," he said. "So, we hope this is the beginning of the downfall of the Castro regime... and we're ready to go back and help with the reconstruction of our country, with work, with money, with investment, and with love."...
