These conflicts are \u200crelated to recent decisions in \u2063which her daughter lobbied. A recent report\u2062 has also revealed \u2063her daughter&#8217;s ties to a communist\u200d Cuban solidarity group.<\/p>\n<h3>House Republicans Probe Secretary \u2064Haaland&#8217;s Decision<\/h3>\n<p>In \u2064June, House Republicans launched\u2064 a probe\u2062 into\u2063 Secretary Haaland&#8217;s decision\u2062 to close \u2062drilling\u200d opportunities in areas \u200csurrounding \u200dNew Mexico&#8217;s Chaco Cultural National Historical Park. This decision has resulted in a 10-mile radius around the heritage site being cut off\u200c from new oil and gas \u2063development \u2062for the \u200cnext 20\u200b years. Unfortunately, this decision has\u200c negatively impacted\u2063 the \u200dNavajo\u200b Nation, preventing them from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/haalands-activist-daughter-has-ties-to-cuban-communist-solidarity-group\/\" title=\"Haaland's daughter linked to Cuban communist solidarity group.\">responsibly harvesting natural resources<\/a> in their own backyard, resulting\u200b in a\u200b loss of $194 million over two decades. Secretary \u200cHaaland&#8217;s daughter, Somah, works for the Pueblo Action Alliance (PAA), a far-left Albuquerque-based climate group that strongly opposed drilling in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers have \u2062noted that \u2064Secretary Haaland \u200bwas involved with the Pueblo Action Alliance before joining the Biden administration. She has allegedly met with\u2063 PAA leaders during her time as\u2064 Secretary\u2064 of the\u2064 Interior to discuss their\u2063 opposition to oil and gas production\u2062 on federal \u2063lands. This has\u200b raised concerns\u2062 among Republicans regarding Secretary \u200bHaaland&#8217;s\u200c compliance with ethical obligations \u2063and potential \u200dconflicts of \u200cinterest.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns Over Secretary Haaland&#8217;s\u2062 Husband<\/h3>\n<p>Representatives \u200chave also raised concerns about Secretary \u200cHaaland&#8217;s husband, Skip Sayre, who serves as the chief\u200d of\u200d sales \u200band\u200d marketing for the Laguna Development Corporation, the \u200b&#8221;business arm&#8221; of the Laguna Pueblo.<\/p>\n<h3>Ethics Complaint Filed by Protect the Public&#8217;s Trust<\/h3>\n<p>The non-profit government \u200dwatchdog, Protect \u2064the Public&#8217;s\u2064 Trust, \u2063filed a separate ethics complaint in August. This\u200b complaint references \u2062Secretary Haaland&#8217;s\u2062 prior \u200bparticipation in a video by the Pueblo \u200bAction Alliance, narrated by her daughter, which focused on drilling in New\u2063 Mexico.<\/p>\n<h3>Daughter&#8217;s Ties to \u200bCuban Solidarity Group<\/h3>\n<p>A new report from ADN America reveals Somah Haaland&#8217;s relationship with a Cuban solidarity group linked to the communist regime&#8217;s\u2063 intelligence apparatus. The Pueblo \u2063Action \u200bAlliance openly associates with the Venceremos \u200dBrigade (VB), a\u2064 U.S.-based organization that\u2062 facilitates\u2064 trips for young Americans to visit Cuba, where they reportedly interact with Cuban intelligence \u200dagents.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Somah Haaland began working \u200cwith the \u200cPueblo Action Alliance (PAA) in \u200c2020, a New Mexico indigenous rights group that \u200bopenly associates with the VB. The \u2064group traveled to\u200b Cuba, where \u2063they\u2063 were hosted by the Institute of Friendship Along with the Peoples (ICAP), a \u2063regime-sponsored organization led by Fernando Gonz\u00e1lez Llort, a notorious\u200d spy and former member of the \u2062Wasp Network who was sentenced to prison in the\u200b U.S. \u2062for espionage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Venceremos \u2062Brigade has a\u200b history of targeting American \u2062activists, according to\u2064 the Cuban outlet. They have been\u2063 known to influence Americans interested in politics and even provide training in practical weaponry \u200dthrough their brigades.<\/p>\n<p>Somah Haaland, being an activist \u2063and the\u200b daughter of the U.S.\u2062 interior \u2064secretary, is a prime target for the Cuban group. Emails\u2064 discovered\u200b by Protect\u2064 the Public&#8217;s \u200bTrust revealed that the Pueblo \u200bAction Alliance was behind the &#8220;insurrection&#8221; at the Interior\u2064 Department \u2063two years ago.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Tristan Justice is the \u2064western correspondent for The Federalist and the author of Social Justice\u200d Redux, a conservative newsletter \u2062on culture, \u200dhealth, and wellness.

The report \u200buncovers\u2063 that \u2062Somah \u200dHaaland has been actively involved\u2064 with the\u2064 &#8220;Cuba \u200dPlanning Committee,&#8221; a \u200bpro-Cuban communist group that advocates \u2062for\u2064 the overthrow of the Cuban\u200c government and supports \u200cthe regime&#8217;s repressive\u2062 policies. \u2064This revelation\u200d raises even more\u2063 questions about Secretary Haaland&#8217;s potential conflicts of \u2064interest\u2064 and her ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-fraud-trial-judge-arthur-engoron-donated-to-democrats-for-decades\/\" title=\"Judge Arthur Engoron, presiding over Trump's fraud trial, has a long history of donating to Democrats.\">make impartial decisions<\/a> in her role as Interior \u200cSecretary.<\/p>\n<h3>Ongoing Investigations<\/h3>\n<p>Both the investigations launched by House Republicans and the inspector general&#8217;s\u200d office are ongoing, and the findings of these investigations will determine the \u2062extent of Secretary \u200dHaaland&#8217;s conflicts of interest and potential ethical violations.
