Reception in Honor of Jason Reding Quiñones

By Jordi C. Martínez-Cid

Last Friday, the Cuban American Bar Assocation put together a reception for the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, at Tuyo in Miami-Dade College. His First Assistant, Yara Lorenzo Klukas introduced him and highlighted his record of service in both the courtroom and the military. AUSA Lorenzo Klukas, recently herself on the state bench, noted USA Reding Quiñones's time as a judge and in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in Miami and Virginia, as well as 22 years in the U.S. Air Force and current role as a reserve lieutenant colonel. The Freedom Tower—visible from the venue, subject of yesterday's post, and potentially neighbor to Trump's future presidential library—was also the subject of a story shared by the new U.S. Attorney from the podium. He relayed how his mother, who was in attendance, slept in the tower her first night in the United States after she fled Cuba.
