Communist Fidel Castro's Former Bodyguard Jailed By ICE, Liberals Rally to Thug
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly detained Rogelio Enrique Boluf� Izquierdo, a former bodyguard of late communist dictator Fidel Castro, and could soon deport him to either Mexico or Ecuador, according to the U.S. outlet Mart� Noticias.
Mart� Noticias and other Cuba-focused outlets described Boluf� Izquierdo as a former mayor of the Cuban Interior Ministry who reportedly joined the communist regime at the age of 19. Boluf� Izquierdo is a dual national of Ecuador with legal residence status in Mexico who is allegedly illegally in the United States. The Cuban official allegedly obtained Ecuadorian citizenship through a past marriage.
Sources with knowledge of the case confirmed to Mart� Noticias that ICE arrested Boluf� Izquierdo on August 17 at the intersection of W 4th Ave and W 29th St., Hialeah, Florida, during a routine traffic stop. According to the reports, police officers found a plastic bag "containing white powder resembling cocaine" in the man's pockets. Boluf� Izquierdo reportedly did not resist arrest and was moved to a detention center in Texas. The sources also told Mart� Noticias that ICE is evaluating the possibility of deporting Boluf� Izquierdo to Mexico or Ecuador and not to Cuba.
