U.S. immigration authorities arrested Adys Lastres Morera in Miami on May 21, 2026, after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked her green card, citing her family ties to the head of Cuba's military-run conglomerate GAESA. The arrest — which involves no criminal charges — is part of a sweeping Trump administration pressure campaign against Cuba that includes the indictment of former President Raúl Castro, new IEEPA-based sanctions, and the designation of 11 regime officials, raising both strategic questions about U.S.-Cuba policy and legal questions about using immigration law to target relatives of foreign officials.
