The Trump administration is going after a pair of influencers because of their support and visits to Cuba, according to reporting by Fox News.

Progressive influencers Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Susan Medea Benjamin were served subpoenas by the Treasury Department on Saturday, Fox News reported.

The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control requested "financial, logistical and communications information" from the two, according to Fox News. The subpoenas are part of an investigation into possible violations of U.S. sanctions against Cuba.

Piker and members of CodePink were in Havana, Cuba as part of a "united front" to support the country's communist government, according to Fox News' reporting.
