PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — The narrative reads like a spy novel.
A decades-long double life, a trusted highly-placed state department diplomat with security clearance, accused of allegiance instead to Cuba and its revolution.
The arrest of Miami-based Manuel Rocha last week - his reported confession to secretly using his U.S. government positions to support Cuba - left countless people who know him and worked with him struggling to rethink his every word and action.
One of those is Emilio Gonzalez, familiar to many as Miami’s former city manager, or former director of Miami International Airport.
But before that, he directed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services with the Department of Homeland Security, and has served as Director of Western Hemispheres affairs at the National Security Council.
He joined This Week in South Florida host Glenna Milberg to discuss, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.
