She's Been Arrested — Secretary of State Marco Rubio Gives The Order To Go as ICE Arrests Sister of Top Cuban Regime...
Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2026
SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO ORDERS ICE ARREST OF CUBAN REGIME ELITE’S SISTER IN FLORIDA AS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CRACKS DOWN ON FOREIGN THREATS
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week that federal authorities have arrested Adys Lastres Morera, the sister of sanctioned Cuban official Ania Guillermina Lastres, in Florida. Rubio stated that Lastres Morera will remain in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending deportation proceedings after he determined she was removable under U.S. immigration law.
Lastres Morera entered the United States as a lawful permanent resident on January 13, 2023, during the previous administration. Rubio, who is of Cuban descent, personally revoked her green card after concluding that her presence posed a direct threat to American foreign policy interests due to alleged ties to the Cuban regime and its military-controlled business conglomerate, GAESA.
“For far too long, the family members of terrorist organizations, repressive anti-American regimes, and other bad actors who would threaten the national security of the United States have been given a free pass to enjoy the privileges of living in the United States,”
“Past Administrations have permitted the families of Cuban military elites, Iranian terrorists, and other reprehensible organizations to enjoy lavish lifestyles in our country funded by stolen blood-money, while the people they repress at home suffer in increasingly dire circumstances,”
“No longer. Under President Trump, we are removing from our country the family members of IRGC terrorists and Cuban regime elites,”
“Let me be very clear: if you threaten the national security of the United States, there will be nowhere on this earth — much less in our country — that you and your cronies can live lavishly,”
“We will find you, and we will hold you accountable.”
On X, Rubio detailed that Lastres Morera was managing real estate assets in the U.S. while aiding Havana’s communist regime. She is the sister of the Executive President of GAESA, the Cuban military-controlled financial conglomerate that controls roughly 70 percent of Cuba’s economy and is believed to hold up to $20 billion in illicit funds concealed overseas.
“Adys Lastres Morera is the sister of the Executive President of GAESA, the Cuban military-controlled financial conglomerate that steals millions in aid for the Cuban people at the behest of the regime,”
“Morera was managing real estate assets and living in Florida, while also aiding Havana’s communist regime, until I terminated her permanent resident status,”
“I am pleased to announce that today, she was arrested and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,”
ICE Homeland Security Investigations confirmed that her presence posed a serious adverse foreign policy consequence and made her removable under section 237(a)(4)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
“Adys Lastres Morera’s presence in the United States has potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for our nation, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has determined that she is removable under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act,”
“Allowing Lastres Morera to remain in the country would send a signal that Cuban regime-affiliated networks could continue to access the U.S.’s financial, educational and social institutions — but that is not the case,”
“HSI will continue to investigate those with ties to our nation’s adversaries and take appropriate actions to neutralize threats against our homeland,”
GAESA manages Cuba’s tourism industry, remittances, and the Cuban doctor program — key funding sources for the ruling communist regime. The arrest sends a clear message that the Trump administration will no longer tolerate regime-connected individuals enjoying American privileges while oppressing their own people. This action reinforces the president’s America First foreign policy that prioritizes national security over outdated open-border leniency.
IT'S HAPPENING — Senate Majority Leader John Thune BEGS for Mercy as Trump Makes Massive Announcement
Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2026
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE FACES CONSERVATIVE FIRE AS PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDS IMMEDIATE PASSAGE OF SAVE AMERICA ACT
A powerful conservative organization is putting Senate Majority Leader John Thune on notice, warning it will recruit or endorse a primary challenger if the Senate fails to advance the SAVE America Act — a cornerstone election integrity bill backed by President Donald J. Trump.
Tyler Bowyer, a senior official with Turning Point Action, the political arm of Turning Point USA founded by Charlie Kirk, delivered the blunt message in a text to the Washington Examiner.
“America needs the Save America Act passed,”
The warning comes after Turning Point Action and Club for Growth poured millions into Indiana primaries, where Trump-endorsed challengers defeated six of seven targeted Republican state senators who opposed the president’s push to redraw congressional maps. The group’s heavy investment in field operations and grassroots turnout, partnered with activist Scott Presler, proved decisive.
Trump himself voiced sharp frustration Tuesday with Senate leadership and the continued use of the 60-vote filibuster threshold that has stalled the legislation.
“I’m disappointed. I like John a lot, but there’s a couple of Republicans that are foolish people,”
“A couple of them I like, a couple of them I can’t stand,”
The SAVE America Act would require photo identification at the polls and documented proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration while preserving mail-in voting for military members and those who truly need it.
“We should have the SAVE America Act. We should have voter identification, voter ID.
“We should have proof of citizenship. We should have mail-in voting for the military and people that need it, but not for everybody, because anytime you have mail-in voting, they’re going to cheat,”
Bowyer suggested Senate Republicans may need new leadership if they cannot deliver on core conservative priorities, naming Florida Sen. Rick Scott as a potential alternative.
Thune is a co-sponsor of the bill and has long supported voter ID, but sources close to his office insist the problem is simple math — the legislation currently lacks the votes to clear the filibuster. They point to a recent amendment vote tied to reconciliation that failed to secure even a bare majority. The aide also highlighted Thune’s record of fast-tracking Trump Cabinet confirmations and passing major tax and domestic policy legislation earlier this year.
Yet conservative groups are undeterred. Turning Point Action is signaling the campaign could expand nationally to hold Senate Republicans accountable on election security — a top America First priority as the 2026 midterms approach.
Trump’s public pressure and the threat of primaries underscore a clear message from the base: deliver results on voter integrity or face consequences at the ballot box. With Republicans holding the Senate majority, the SAVE America Act represents a straightforward opportunity to protect the vote and restore trust in American elections.
House Speaker Mike Johnson Looks Into the Cameras, Drops Midterm Bombshell That Will Panic Democrats
Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2026
HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON DROPS MIDTERM BOMBSHELL ON FOX & FRIENDS: TRUMP IRAN PEACE DEAL TO SLASH GAS PRICES AND DELIVER GOP HOUSE VICTORY
House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared on Fox & Friends at the Indianapolis 500 Sunday and delivered a confident message that has Democrats scrambling. Johnson declared he is “very confident” President Donald J. Trump will soon announce a historic peace deal with Iran that will stabilize the Middle East and bring immediate relief to American families at the pump.
This will allow 60 days to get the details done, and the number-one condition has been that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
We’ll take care of the nuclear dust. We’ll get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, which will be great for gas prices here and stability around the world.
And that’s why all the regional allies there and all the regional countries are following U.S. leadership under President Trump.
When co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy pressed Johnson on the political impact, the Speaker made clear the timing could not be better for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms.
Yeah, it’s a big thing.
Obviously we’ve done a lot of work: The Big Beautiful Bill, the working families tax cut — all of the legislation has been geared towards the cost of living, affordability, bringing the cost of living down.
We put in all those conditions in the economy to let it take off like a rocket, and we were doing that at the beginning of the first quarter, and then the Iran skirmish began.
So, when this settles down, gas prices come back down to earth, that means your grocery prices come down again because of transport costs and all the rest.
It’s going to be a big factor. The kitchen table issues are gonna decide the midterms.
Johnson added that Republicans have “plenty of runway,” superior candidates, and a fundraising edge.
We’re super excited about the midterms. I’m absolutely convinced that we’re gonna grow the majority and get this done and make history.
President Trump reinforced the positive momentum with a powerful Truth Social post outlining ongoing negotiations.
“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!”
Trump expressed hope that several key Middle East nations will join the Abraham Peace Accords once a settlement with Iran is reached.
“Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!),”
“It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be,”
“In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords,”
“Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign,”
“Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition,”
The combination of a looming Iran peace deal, falling energy prices, and strong Republican momentum has Democrats in full panic mode as the midterms draw closer.
With kitchen-table issues like gas and groceries poised to improve rapidly, Speaker Johnson’s outlook signals a clear path for Republicans to expand their House majority and deliver even more wins for the American people under President Trump’s America First leadership.
