HENDRY COUNTY, Fla. â From Clewiston all the way to the White House. Johnny Navarro is making his voice heard for Cuba.
âHowever you look at this, we have to help Cuba in some way,â he said.
Itâs the most he can do from this side of the water, since Americans can face fines and prison time, if they boat to Cuba territorial seas without the proper permits, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Navarro says itâs not fair for people who just want to help.
