The political left loves to protest. They seem to do a lot more protesting than people on the right do; people on the right, after all, have jobs. Now, though, we may see another round of protests and potentially riots, as Cuba is reportedly organizing far-left American activist groups to target American military bases, ICE facilities and other federal installations if there is any overt American action against Cuba.

A new State Department report argues that Cuba has cultivated a network of American activist organizations that can be mobilized against U.S. policy, citing a publicly posted plan for protests at U.S. military bases, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities and federal buildings as a recent example.
The June “National Rapid Response Plan” was distributed by the National Network on Cuba, a U.S. coalition of more than 60 organizations. The State Department links the coalition to the Cuban government through its relationship with the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, or ICAP, a government entity sanctioned in June for allegedly supporting Cuban intelligence activities.
The plan calls for “coordinated nationwide actions” within 24 hours of a U.S. military attack — or the “imminent threat” of one — and says its goal is to make it “politically and materially costly for the U.S. government to wage war on Cuba.”
The State Department report, which you can view here, states in part (emphasis added):
In June 2026, NNOC began distributing a “National Rapid Response Plan” outlining a detailed strategy for activating and launching “coordinated nationwide actions” against federal institutions, U.S. military bases, and ICE detention centers and field offices in the United States within 24 hours of U.S. military action (or the imminent threat of it) against Cuba. The plan, which purports to be a blueprint to “make it politically and materially costly for the U.S. government to wage war on Cuba,” meticulously details specific activation triggers, target categories and priorities, tiered action strategies – with guidance tailored to geography and population density – and operational timeline for coordinating actions across its nationwide network, establishing different action timetables depending on when the trigger occurs so as to achieve “rapid mobilization…across timezones.”
The document is explicit about the Cuban network’s kinship with domestic left-wing causes, instructing activists to target ICE detention centers and field offices in a strategic effort to link “Cuba solidarity to anti-ICE/immigrant defense work happening nationwide.” (In addition to the three priority target categories – federal buildings, U.S. military bases and recruitment offices, and ICE facilities – “sports arenas during high-visibility events” are offered as a fourth “optional target”).

The groups Cuba has reportedly approached include Code Pink, the People’s Forum, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the Communist Party USA. This is quite a laundry list of American far-left groups.

This “National Rapid Response Plan” includes some alarming specifics, and specifies a 24-hour response time in the event any action is taken by the United States against Cuba. This presumably means any military action, but might also apply to a blockade or any similar economic sanction. In major cities, this could include mass protests against any federal installation, including but probably not limited to courthouses, military bases, and ICE/Border Patrol installations.
What’s really concerning about this is the potential for things to get out of control, and fast. Protests from the far-left have the distinct tendency to become violent, and with this plan, these Cuban proxies are planning to mobilize thousands of unhinged far-left nuts to flood the areas around any federal installations. We’re already seeing this with the attempts to interfere with ICE agents in the performance of their duties; this Cuban plan could take that up an order of magnitude.
There are, at present, no indications that the Trump administration is planning any military action against Cuba. It probably won’t be necessary. Cuba seems to be collapsing quite well all on its own. But this is another indication of a disturbing trend in American politics, that being that the far-left is increasingly willing to resort to violence. What the far-left doesn’t understand is that, in the end, it won’t work out at all like they think it will.
