Manuel Menéndez Castellanos, former secretary of the Communist Party in the province of Cienfuegos and a former member of Fidel Castro's "coordination and support team," arrived on Thursday afternoon at Miami International Airport.
The news was announced by journalist Mario J. Pentón, who was a direct witness to the arrival of the former party leader.
Menéndez Castellano -who is said to have arrived through family reunification- tried to go unnoticed by wearing a cap, a medical mask, and glasses. He also arrived in a wheelchair, carrying a black briefcase on his lap.
His own family did not recognize him at first, and it was he who greeted them with "good afternoon" to alert them to his presence.
When journalist Mario J. Pentón identified himself as a journalist to the former leader, Menéndez Castellano tried to snatch the camera, covered his face, and said, "I'm going home."
His family tried to protect him and denied any kind of statement.
