Mystery surrounds a secret trip by Squad members Ilhan Omar and Pramila Japayal to Communist Cuba that coincided with a visit by Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.

The two leaders of the Democrats progressive caucus sparked fury when details of last week's trip emerged with top Republicans accusing them of a Communist 'pilgrimage.'

The Congresswomen, who are longstanding critics of the US embargo on the Caribbean island, said they were there to 'meet with people from across Cuban civil society.'

But critics slammed their support for a country that 'supports Iran, Russia and Communist China.'

'It's outrageous that Members of Congress would visit a country that jails, abuses, and murders their citizens,' said Rep Nicole Malliotakis, R-NY, herself a daughter of Cuban immigrants.

'Perhaps their time would be better spent listening to the Cubans crossing our southern border and risking their lives on makeshift rafts to find out why they're fleeing Communism.'
