Republican leaders within the House Natural Resources Committee are adding a new twist to their ongoing investigation into Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s daughter’s ties to a leftist environmental coalition known as the Pueblo Action Alliance (PAA), which has openly worked with a Cuban regime fostered organization known as the Venceremos Brigade. ADN first reported the connection on Sept. 19, and it was subsequently confirmed by Fox News Digital on Monday.
The House investigation was sparked by an Aug. 17 letter from Protect the Public Trust (PPT), a private watchdog group that questioned the secretary’s impartiality after her federal agency implemented a moratorium on Chaco Canyon, New Mexico area oil and gas drilling leases, a longtime goal of the PAA. The PAA frequently engages in pro-environmental advocacy, protests, and lobbying throughout the United States
Shortly after the House opened an inquiry into PPT’s complaint, ADN America published a separate investigation into the PAA’s ties to the Venceremos Brigade (VB), an organization responsible for recruiting Americans to visit Cuba where they are reportedly greeted and groomed by Cuban intelligence agents, ADN learned based on a collection of information published online, social media accounts, news stories and official reports.
