Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announces a federal indictment charging former Cuban President Raúl Castro and five others in connection with the 1996 downing of two civilian planes by Cuban military aircraft. NBC News reports Blanche describes the indictment as a “big step forward” for Cuban Americans. NBC News also notes Blanche faces questions about how Castro could be taken into custody and stand trial in the United States. According to NBC’s reporting, Blanche says an arrest warrant has been issued for Castro. CBS News similarly describes Blanche addressing questions after the announcement in Miami and discussing the charges tied to the deaths of four Cuban Americans. PBS NewsHour reports Blanche states he expects Castro to face prosecution in the U.S., either “his own will or by another way,” without specifying further. Across the outlets, the key points are the announcement of the indictment, the involvement of Raúl Castro and additional defendants, the 1996 incident as the basis for the case, and Blanche’s comments about next steps and how the defendant might be brought before U.S. courts.
