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.
