Manuel Rocha, a former US ambassador, sentenced to 15 years for serving as secret agent for Cuba

apnews.com/article/manuel-rocha-spy-cuba-guilty-plea-8fd30500f4588129a195daaf2d720c13

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.

Quick Glance: US Supreme Court ruling against Black Lives Matter activist's appeal regarding protest incident

The US Supreme Court allowed a lawsuit by a Louisiana police officer against a Black Lives Matter activist, potentially impacting future public demonstrations.

DeRay Mckesson was represented by attorneys, including those from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The decision of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could set a precedent for lawsuits against protest leaders based on the actions of participants.

The legal dispute arose from a protest in Baton Rouge in 2016 following the police intervention against Alton Sterling, a black man.

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.

The flight, which departed from Louisiana and made a stop in Miami, Florida, was the first deportation flight to Haiti since January.
