This House resolution condemns the Cuban regime’s alleged human trafficking and forced labor of Cuban medical personnel deployed abroad, cites State Department reports and estimated regime profits, urges foreign governments to pay workers directly, and urges the President to use visa-revocation authorities against foreign and organizational officials implicated.
