The United States has intensified its pressure on the Cuban regime with the recent arrest of the sister of the head of GAESA, the military conglomerate that controls significant portions of Cuba’s economy. The sister, identified as Adys Lastres Morera, was detained by ICE in Miami, leading to the revocation of her green card. This move has sparked heightened tensions, particularly as U.S. officials, including Senator Marco Rubio, emphasize her alleged ties to the communist regime pose a threat to national interests. The arrests come amidst ongoing scrutiny of individuals linked to the Cuban military’s financial networks, with one co-defendant in a related indictment having accepted a plea deal.
