Frances Robles

The building that we were in is part of Miami Dade College.

And so it was interesting to me because she's a very prominent member of the community.

But she's not a prosecutor.

So it told you a lie.

It says that this isn't just a quote-unquote judicial or law enforcement event.

This is a community event.

It's an important event to the city of Miami and the people in this entire community who have been waiting 30 years for this day.

And she introduced the Attorney General, the Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch.

The hundreds of people in the room got up and gave him a standing ovation before the man even opened his mouth.

Everybody was cheering him on because they knew what he was about to say.

One of his first words were conspiracy to kill U.S.

nationals.

And they had to break after that because everyone got up onto their feet and started applauding him again.

And he just started reading out the charges.

He was being charged with conspiracy to kill U.S.

nationals, two counts of destruction of aircraft and four counts of murder.

The incident that this case is about occurred in 1996.

But really, to tell that story, I'm going to go back further.

I'm going to go a little early in the 90s.

There was a point in the 90s where Cubans were literally throwing themselves to the sea to make it to the United States.
