Cuba's Armed Forces have been accused by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of being responsible for propping up Maduro's regime, and in retaliation, Castro—and his children—are now barred from the US.

Castro and his immediate family have been barred from entering America—including his children, Alejandro Castro Espin, Mariela Castro Espin, Nilsa Castro Espin and Deborah Castro Espin.

"As First Secretary of Cuba's Armed Forces, Castro is responsible for Cuba's actions to prop up the former Maduro regime in Venezuela through violence, intimidation, and repression," said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a statement. "In concert with Maduro's military and intelligence officers, members of the Cuban security forces have been involved in gross human rights violations and abuses in Venezuela, including torture," Pompeo added, and also accused Castro of overseeing"a system that arbitrarily detains thousands of Cubans and currently holds more than 100 political prisoners."

The impact this will have on Castro's entry into the United States is, at this time, unknown. He last appeared in the country in 2015 to address the United Nations General Assembly; only one of his children, LGBTQ activist Mariela Castro Espin, has been to the country in recent years. Cuban leader Raul Castro acknowledges applause as he arrives at the Gran Teatro de la Habana Alicia Alonso on March 22, 2016 in Havana, Cuba. Castro and his children became the subject of a travel ban by the Trump administration Thursday.The U.S., along with fifty other countries, oppose and consider Maduro's regime illegitimate and support opposition forces led by Juan Guaido.
