Jews and Muslims
As a general answer, the Christian Kingdoms of northern Spain (Castille, Leon, Portugal, Aragon, etc.) wished to drive the Muslims out of Spain. These kingdoms eventually consolidated (except Portugal) into the Kingdom of Spain, led by Queen Isabella of Castille and King Ferdinand of Aragon, who made it their mission to remove the last Islamic Kingdom of Granada and expel all Muslims from Spain with the Inquisition.
Isabella and Ferdinand expelled Jews and Muslims from Spain primarily to unify the country under a single Catholic identity following the Reconquista. They believed that religious homogeneity would strengthen their rule and eliminate perceived threats to their authority. Additionally, there were economic motives, as confiscating the properties of expelled Jews and Muslims provided financial benefits to the crown. This expulsion was part of a broader effort to enforce religious conformity and consolidate their power.

The Spanish Inquisition, formally, the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts, especially Jews, Muslims and others. Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to found the Inquisition, such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, and profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics. The new body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1833, during the reign of Isabella II.For more information go to Wikipedia.org

How, if you are asking who was in charge at the end, it was Queen Isabel I of Castile and Leon, and King Ferdinand II of Aragon who led the final campaign to expel the Moors in 1492.
