May 27 (UPI) -- Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Alina Rosales Aguirreurreta, daughter of historic Cuban general Ulises Rosales del Toro, in South Florida after she entered the country in 2023 on a tourist visa and later sought to regularize her immigration status, according to reports from Cuban local media.
Martí Noticias reported that Rosales Aguirreurreta, a physician in Cuba, entered the United States in 2023 with a B1/B2 visa issued at the U.S. Embassy in Havana and had been living in South Florida while awaiting resolution of her immigration situation.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, confirmed Tuesday that Rosales Aguirreurreta was in custody, although the agency did not publicly disclose the specific reason for the detention or the facility where she is being held.
The arrest comes days after the detention of Adys Lastres Morera, sister of Brig. Gen. Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, current president of the Cuban military conglomerate GAESA, an entity sanctioned by the United States.
