The Trump administration detained in Miami on Thursday the sister of the top Cuban official who heads the multi-billion-dollar military conglomerate that runs most of Cuba’s economy, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced on Thursday.
ICE said in a press statement that Adys Lastres Morera was taken into custody after the State Department revoked her green card, saying she represented a threat to national security.
Lastres Morera is the sister of Gen. Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, who runs the umbrella group known as GAESA that is part of the Cuban military. A 2025 Miami Herald investigation found that the Cuban military has an estimated $18 billion dollars in GAESA’s accounts as the country’s economic collapses and its population lives through a humanitarian crisis.
“Allowing Lastres Morera to remain in the country would send a signal that Cuban regime-affiliated networks could continue to access the U.S.’s financial, educational and social institutions — but that is not the case,” John Condon, acting executive ******* ociate director of Homeland Security Investigations, said in a statement.
In a separate statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Lastres Morera’s detention.
