The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued administrative subpoenas to Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin seeking records on their March 2026 travel to Cuba and related communications and financial activity.
The subpoenas requested travel records, communications and financial records connected to Cuba activities, including possible contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities. The Nuestra América Convoy brought hundreds of activists, politicians, journalists and organizers from dozens of countries to Cuba and delivered an estimated 40 tons of supplies in March 2026.
Progressive International described the operation as involving approximately 650 delegates from 33 countries and 120 organizations. The convoy combined charter flights, maritime flotillas and aid shipments carrying food, medicine, medical supplies and solar panels.
Progressive International's general coordinator David Adler spoke at an event at the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples in Havana on March 21, 2026.
Adler sat in a VIP seat beside Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel at the event, where Díaz-Canel raised his fist in the air. Piker said he consulted Ben Rhodes prior to traveling to Cuba. Rhodes told Piker, "You're going to be very sad when you see it," regarding the situation in Cuba.
Piker boarded a special plane departing from Miami as part of the convoy. The plane was the same one used by CodePink's delegation. Piker credited Progressive International, CodePink and the ANSWER Coalition for organizing the flight with medical aid, solar panels and food.
