Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced earlier this week that his office has officially issued an investigative subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to find out if the organization accepted contributions from “foreign sources of concern,” which includes countries such as Cuba and China among others.
“Our laws prohibit accepting contributions from foreign sources of concern,” Uthmeier went on to say in a video statement. “We will not allow foreign adversaries to influence Florida through the backdoor of non-private fundraising.” The subpoena calls for a surrendering of documents connected to recent DSA delegations that were sent to both China and Cuba.
Members of the DSA actually sat down in a meeting with Cuban government officials during the visit. The attorney general of Florida wants the documents to see if the DSA is in violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Uthmeier did not provide specific details about any potential criminal allegations or name specific people accused of violating Florida law.
According to a report from Fox News, the DSA has consistently praised the Cuban regime and routinely praises the country’s communist government, while also advocating for the lifting of restrictions and sanctions placed on the nation by the U.S. They are also big supporters of lifting the U.S. embargo against Havana.
Over the last several years, the DSA has sent numerous delegations to Cuba. DSA members met privately with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel in 2023, with the end goal of creating a formal communications channel with government ministries, a release from the State Department revealed in July 2026. The current legal action comes on the heels of several DSA-backed candidates winning races at various levels of government.
The Democratic Socialists of America have made significant and dangerous changes to their policy platform this year, which is why so many conservatives and common-sense Americans are concerned about the increasing influence and power the group is having in culture and politics. For example, the updated platform demands the abolishment of the Supreme Court and the Senate.
And it doesn’t stop there. It also wants to see the office of president of the United States erased from existence as well. Another big piece of the platform is free government run healthcare. Which, as everyone knows, doesn’t really exist, as someone, somewhere is always picking up the tab. The October 2025 trip to Cuba featured 40 elected DSA leaders and members.

This group met with workers, doctors, teachers, and artists “who keep the country running despite the growing hardship imposed by the U.S. blockade.” A total of five members traveled to China in 2025. There they celebrated the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Japan in World War II. Stu Smith, an investigative analyst with a focus on extremism, testified in front of Congress in September about the DSA.
“As the DSA continues to expand its international engagements while advancing what it has described as a ‘struggle to dismantle the U.S. empire,’ Congress and the American public should seek a fuller understanding of the organization’s partnerships and political activities,” Mr. Smith went on to tell lawmakers on a House Judiciary subcommittee.
