Here is a story that captures the rot of the Cuban Communist regime in a single arrest: while ordinary Cubans starve under socialism, the daughter of one of Fidel Castro’s most decorated “heroes” was quietly living in Florida — illegally — and working at a Miami plastic-surgery clinic. ICE just put an end to it.
Alina Rosales Aguirreurreta, 37, the daughter of revered Cuban Gen. Ulises Rosales del Toro, was arrested by federal agents in Florida after overstaying her tourist visa, the New York Post reported. She had entered the United States at Orlando International Airport on a B-2 tourist visa on Nov. 21, 2023. That visa expired in May 2024. She stayed anyway.
On May 26, 2026, ICE agents caught up with her at the Miami clinic where she worked as an assistant — trained, fittingly, as a plastic surgeon back in Cuba. She is now charged as a “nonimmigrant overstay” and awaits a hearing before an immigration judge.
“She’s charged as a nonimmigrant overstay, and awaits a hearing before an immigration judge,” ICE said in a statement posted to X. “ICE will disclose more information as it becomes publicly available.”
And who, exactly, is her father? Gen. Ulises Rosales del Toro, 84, is no ordinary retiree. He fought alongside Fidel and Raúl Castro in the Sierra Maestra mountains in the late 1950s, commanded Cuban troops in Angola in the 1970s, served as chief of the general staff of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, and was handed the title “Hero of the Republic of Cuba.” He later ran the regime’s agriculture and sugar ministries and sat in the Communist Party’s political bureau. In other words, Cuban royalty — the very elite that built the prison island his daughter apparently couldn’t wait to escape.
Her arrest is no fluke. The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has begun targeting the privileged relatives of high-ranking Cuban officials. Just days earlier, Adys Lastres Morera — sister of Brig. Gen. Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera, who runs the secretive military-controlled conglomerate GAESA — was arrested and transferred to an ICE facility in Louisiana, according to the Cuban exile outlet Cibercuba.
The hypocrisy writes itself. The families that enforce socialism on millions of Cubans flee to capitalist America the first chance they get — and then expect to break its laws without consequence. For decades, they did. Not anymore.
