Sister of Cuban Military Conglomerate Chief Arrested in Florida, Rubio Says
ICE said Lastres Morera is subject to deportation under immigration law and remains in custody pending removal proceedings, with no criminal charges announced.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations agents arrested Adys Lastres Morera in Miami, Florida, on Thursday after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked her lawful permanent resident status on Wednesday.
- Authorities determined her continued presence undermined U.S. foreign policy objectives toward Cuba, citing her role as sister of Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, Executive President of the military-controlled conglomerate GAESA.
- Rubio alleged GAESA possesses $18 billion in assets and controls 70% of the Cuban economy, claiming it "steals millions in aid for the Cuban people at the behest of the regime."
- Pending removal proceedings under Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Lastres Morera remains in custody, one day after former Cuban leader Raúl Castro was federally indicted.
- The Trump administration previously invoked Section 237 to target activist Mahmoud Khalil, while the U.S. recently offered Cuba $100 million in relief supplies for authorized distribution.
