On January 11, 2021, the U.S. Department of State (“DOS”) redesignated Cuba on the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism (“SST List”) for “repeatedly providing support for acts of international terrorism in granting safe harbor to terrorists.” DOS based its decision on the continuous support by Cuba of the Maduro regime in Venezuela and on Cuba’s refusal to extradite to Colombia certain leaders of the National Liberation Army (ELN), a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. DOS held Cuba accountable for harboring individuals wanted or convicted in the U.S. for violent crimes, including an individual on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s List of Most Wanted Terrorists.
