Rubio Makes It Clear Trump’s Next Hemispheric Move Is Against Cubav

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has intensified its campaign against Cuba’s long-standing communist government, highlighted by the recent arrest and planned deportation of a relative of a senior Cuban official.

On May 22, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations arrested Adys Lastres Morera in Miami. She is the sister of Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, executive president of Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA), a military-controlled conglomerate that U.S. officials say dominates a significant portion of Cuba’s economy.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he personally revoked Lastres Morera’s lawful permanent resident status, which had been granted in January 2023. Officials determined that her presence in the United States posed a threat to American foreign policy interests due to alleged ties to the Cuban regime and GAESA’s operations. She remains in ICE custody pending deportation proceedings.
