Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio for taking action,&rdquo; Commissioner Milian Orbis added. &ldquo;Every dollar that flows to GAESA helps fund the dictatorship&rsquo;s machinery of repression, from political prisons and state surveillance to the military and intelligence networks threatening freedom just 90 miles from our shores. The same regime that terrorizes the Cuban people should never be allowed to quietly profit from the freedoms and opportunities of the United States.&rdquo;</p> <p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio identified Adys Lastres Morera as the sister of the Executive President of GAESA, the Cuban military-controlled financial conglomerate he said &ldquo;steals millions in aid for the Cuban people at the behest of the regime.&rdquo;</p> <p>According to Secretary Rubio, Morera had been living in Florida, managing real estate assets, and aiding Havana&rsquo;s communist regime until her permanent resident status was terminated. He also announced that she was arrested and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.</p> <p>Secretary Rubio made clear that there will be no safe haven in the United States for foreign nationals who threaten our national security or seek to live lavishly while supporting hostile regimes.</p> <p>&ldquo;This is exactly why we have been pushing for stronger oversight, transparency, and enforcement regarding individuals connected to the Cuban regime operating in Miami,&rdquo; said Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis. &ldquo;The Cuban exile community knows firsthand the suffering caused by the dictatorship and the military apparatus that profits from oppression while the Cuban people live in poverty.&rdquo;</p> <p>Commissioner Milian Orbis has led County efforts to expose Cuba sanctions loopholes, support stronger federal enforcement, and identify business activity tied to the Cuban regime. &mdash;</p> <p>Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis <br />Miami-Dade County, District 6</p> /resources/images/releases/headshot/district06-headshot.jpg no Business owner standing outside coffee shop. 2026 00 a.m. 00 a.m. Commission District 06 1 rel1780060599352193 Commission District 06 Main Office,City of Hialeah 1000 SW 57th Avenue,501 President Donald J.

          MIAMI-DADE ( May 21, 2026 )–

          La comisionada del condado de Miami-Dade, Natalie Milian Orbis, aplaudió la acción federal tras los reportes de que Adys Lastres Morera, hermana de la presidenta ejecutiva del conglomerado militar cubano sancionado GAESA, Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, haya sido arrestada por el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés) después de que se le revocara su estatus de residente permanente.

          “Quiero agradecer al presidente Donald J. Trump y al secretario de Estado Marco Rubio por tomar esta acción”, añadió la comisionada Milian Orbis. “Cada dólar que fluye hacia GAESA ayuda a financiar la maquinaria represiva de la dictadura, desde las prisiones políticas y la vigilancia estatal hasta las redes militares y de inteligencia que amenazan la libertad a solo 90 millas de nuestras costas. El mismo régimen que aterroriza al pueblo cubano nunca debería poder beneficiarse de las libertades y oportunidades de los Estados Unidos.”

          El secretario de Estado Marco Rubio identificó a Adys Lastres Morera como la hermana de la presidenta ejecutiva de GAESA, el conglomerado financiero controlado por los militares cubanos que y afirmó que dicha empresa “roba millones en ayuda destinada al pueblo cubano por órdenes del régimen.”

          Según el secretario Rubio, Morera había estado viviendo en Florida, administrando activos inmobiliarios y apoyando al régimen comunista de La Habana hasta que se le revocó su estatus de residente permanente. También anunció que fue arrestada y actualmente se encuentra bajo custodia del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos.

          El secretario Rubio dejó claro que no habrá refugio seguro en los Estados Unidos para extranjeros que amenacen nuestra seguridad nacional o busquen vivir con lujos mientras apoyan a regímenes hostiles.

          “Esta es exactamente la razón por la que hemos estado impulsando una supervisión, transparencia y cumplimiento más estrictos respecto a individuos vinculados al régimen cubano que operan en Miami”, expresó la comisionada Natalie Milian Orbis. “La comunidad del exilio cubano conoce de primera mano el sufrimiento causado por la dictadura y el aparato militar que se beneficia de la opresión mientras el pueblo cubano vive en la pobreza.”

          La comisionada Milian Orbis ha liderado esfuerzos a nivel condal para exponer vacíos legales en las sanciones contra Cuba, apoyar una aplicación federal más estricta e identificar actividades comerciales vinculadas al régimen cubano.
