US ex-diplomat sentenced to 15 years for spying for Cuba over decades
reut.rs/3TVi3bC
Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba
- Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.
- Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.
- The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.
- The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.

New research finds no conclusive evidence of brain injury in Havana syndrome cases
wionews.com/world/new-research-finds-no-conclusive-evidence-of-brain-injury-in-havana-syndrome-cases-701645
Quick Glance: Study Finds No Brain Injuries in 'Havana Syndrome' Patients
- A five-year study by the National Institutes of Health revealed no brain injuries among U.S. diplomats and government employees suffering from mysterious health problems previously known as 'Havana syndrome.'
- While the study did not provide an explanation for the symptoms, it found no significant differences in brain volume, structure, or cognitive tests between the affected individuals and healthy government workers.
- Approximately 28% of Havana syndrome cases were diagnosed with a balance problem called 'persistent postural-perceptual dizziness,' linked to inner-ear issues and severe stress.
- The results indicate that there is no evidence that a foreign power or external phenomenon has caused persistent or detectable pathophysiologic changes that could explain the symptoms of Havana syndrome.

Quick Glance: US Judge Rejects Republican Challenge to Biden Migrant Program
- A federal judge in Texas rejected a challenge by Republican-led states to a Biden program allowing migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela emergency entry into the U.S.
- Judge Drew Tipton in Victoria, Texas, ruled that the states lacked standing to pursue the lawsuit against the program that permits up to 30,000 monthly entries.
- Approximately 234,000 migrants from the specified countries entered the U.S. through the program by November, requiring a U.S. sponsor and air travel.
- Tipton noted a significant decrease in illegal entries from the countries since the program's inception, without addressing the lawsuit's core claim of DHS authority.
