Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart (FL-26) and Carlos A. Giménez (FL-28), along with Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), will hold a press conference to denounce the Biden Administration's decision to allow Cuban regime operatives to tour TSA facilities at Miami International Airport earlier this week.

The officials expressed concerns about the Cuban regime, which is designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, being permitted access to U.S. security areas. "We need answers immediately as to who authorized this visit and why the visit was authorized," they stated. "Protecting our national security and the American people should be our first priority."

Participants in the press conference include:

- Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (FL-26), Chairman of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee on the House Appropriations Committee

- Rep. Carlos A. Giménez (FL-28), Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security

- Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

The event is scheduled for Friday, May 24 at 12:00 p.m., located at Miami International Airport, Concourse F Consular Lounge, Departures Level, near Door 14.

Credentialed media interested in attending must RSVP to Andrea.Morales@mail.house.gov.
