Havana/Cuban Alina Rosales Aguirreurreta “is accused of exceeding the deadline as a nonimmigrant,” the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service said this Saturday (ICE) through her account on the X platform. The daughter of General Ulises Rosales del Toro, who She was arrested last Mayis “waiting for a hearing before an immigration judge.”
On May 28, the lawyer Avelino González told to Telemundo 51 that the doctor by profession, with a specialty in plastic surgery and caumatology (reconstruction of burned tissues), was arrested when leaving her workplace in Miami where she worked as an assistant and was detained in a center in Florida. The authorities, he said, “consider that he is out of immigration status,” he said.
The lawyer confirmed that Rosales Aguirreurreta entered the United States with a B-2 visitor visa on November 21, 2023 through the Orlando international airport. This Saturday, ICE stressed that the specialist’s tourist visa was “valid until May 20, 2024, and she did not obtain permission to remain in the country.” Although he tried to obtain residency through the Cuban Adjustment Act, he did not succeed.
According to the lawyer, the doctor “has been pressured to accept self-deportation.” However, ICE announced that it “will release more information about the case if it becomes public.”

He fought alongside Fidel Castro and held positions of power in the Armed Forces, the Communist Party and the Government for decades. He was Minister of Sugar, Minister of Agriculture and Vice President of the Council of Ministers until 2019. Since then he has remained away from public life, while some of his children have been the subject of media attention for their activities outside Cuba.
The new details about the case of Rosales Aguirreurreta are released days after the deportation of the Cuban to Ecuador Rogelio Enrique Bolufé Izquierdoalleged former major of the Ministry of the Interior and former member of Fidel Castro’s security environment.
Bolufé Izquierdo remained in ICE custody for ten months and, according to what he told the American magazine The American Prospectwas expelled through “an accelerated deportation,” which he considered “retaliation” because due process was not respected.
Days before, ICE detained Adys Lastres Morerasister of the president of the Gaesa military conglomerate Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, sanctioned by the United States on May 1. The arrest occurred after the revocation of her permanent residence and being accused of collaborating with the Havana regime, which represented a threat to national security.
“Morera was managing real estate assets and living in Florida, while also helping the communist regime in Havana, until I canceled his permanent resident status,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
