Earlier this year, I joined my colleagues in urging President Trump and his administration to pursue full accountability, including the indictment of Raúl Castro for his direct role in this heinous terrorist attack.
Carlos A. Gimenez will continue to urge President Trump and his administration to pursue full accountability, including the indictment of Raúl Castro for his direct role in the attack.
Occurrences
Evidence
“Earlier this year, I joined my colleagues in urging President Trump and his administration to pursue full accountability, including the indictment of Raúl Castro for his direct role in this heinous terrorist attack.”
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday announced criminal charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro in the 1996 downing of civilian planes flown by Miami-based exiles as the Trump administration escalated pressure on the island's socialist government.
Giménez said, "Earlier this year, I joined my colleagues in urging President Trump and his administration to pursue full accountability, including the indictment of Raúl Castro."
El País reported that Raúl Castro made a public appearance on June 6, his first since the May 20 U.S. indictment.
Assessments
The promise was to continue urging the Trump administration to seek accountability, including Raul Castro's indictment. Gimenez later stated in an official House press release that he had joined colleagues earlier in the year to urge exactly that action, and independent reporting confirms the administration indicted Raul Castro on May 20, 2026. Because the promised action was advocacy rather than unilateral executive action, and both the urging and the indictment occurred while Gimenez remained in federal office, this counts as delivered in the same term.
The promise was to continue urging President Trump and his administration to seek full accountability, specifically including the indictment of Raúl Castro. Evidence shows Gimenez publicly stated that he had joined colleagues in urging the Trump administration to pursue that indictment, which matches the promised action. Independent reporting also confirms that federal prosecutors under the Trump administration did in fact indict Raúl Castro in connection with the 1996 shootdown. Because both the urging and the requested outcome occurred while Gimenez was in federal office and during the relevant Trump administration period, this is best scored as delivered in the same term. Credit is appropriate because the promise centered on advocacy and urging, not solely on personally causing the indictment, and the evidence shows he carried out that advocacy and the sought outcome followed.
