On Monday, July 21st, 2026, the U.S. State Department released a 100-page report linking Cuba to a variety of protests across the United States. The document alleges that since the 1960s, the Cuban regime "has served as the beating heart of a new and distinct kind" of protest activity. Among the demonstrations cited are those related to the 2020 protests following the murder of George Floyd.
