“We Will Not Be Intimidated”

Fox News Digital reported last week that it had “learned” federal officials had served subpoenas to streamer Hasan Piker and Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin as part of a “dragnet” targeting as many as 40 U.S. citizens who participated in the Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba last March.

The article, written by pro-Trump journalist Asra Nomani, is a case study in conspiratorial red-baiting masquerading as investigative journalism. Relying on anonymous sources, it’s riddled with unsubstantiated claims, loaded language and Trump administration talking points presented as established facts.

Yet beneath Fox News’s sensationalism lies a genuine development: the Trump administration appears to be targeting Cuba solidarity activists.

Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández interviewed Medea Benjamin, who confirmed she had received a “request for information” (not a subpoena) sent to Code Pink via email by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Watch the interview HERE.
