In the United States, Adys Lastres Morera was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on May 21, 2026, due to alleged connections with GAESA, a state-run conglomerate in Cuba that is overseen by the military and operates major sectors such as tourism and banking. The U.S. Department of State, led by Marco Rubio, confirmed the revocation of her green card, initiating her removal proceedings. As a lawful permanent resident since 2023, Morera's actions in managing overseas assets linked to GAESA raised significant concerns about foreign policy and national security. This situation reflects the larger tensions between the U.S. and the Cuban government's involvement with its military-run enterprises. The indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro on various charges further complicates the U.S.-Cuba relationship, leading to heightened scrutiny of individuals connected to the Cuban regime, including those living in the U.S. This pattern indicates a broader strategy by the Trump administration to tighten immigration policies regarding individuals from Cuba and other countries perceived as posing potential risks to U.S. interests.
