A group of Cuban men in Mexico was charged with smuggling people to the United States. One of its leaders said Raúl Castro’s grandson helped, according to interviews and court records.

The Castro family envoy, Raúl G. Rodríguez Castro, who has been in talks with the Trump administration, was once named in a case targeting a Cuban smuggling ring.

The United States is demanding that Cuba make 'dramatic changes very soon,' with Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly in contact with Raúl Castro’s grandson.
