[Trump] has repatriated more than 1,600 Cubans in 2025, according to the Cuban government. That is about double the number of Cubans who were repatriated in 2024. And in the years that Mr. Trump has been president, he has sent more Cubans back than his three predecessors.

Families, businesses and communities that once felt removed from or immune to immigration enforcement now must face it head-on. Some Floridians worry that these deportations could stain the state’s proud Cuban identity, turning older immigrants against newer ones.

    This idiot is deporting the people who got him elected. If we ever have elections again, that’s going to sting the Republican party.

      hmm. People thought the same thing about the covid antivaxxers dying in record numbers. It didn’t seem to matter much 4 years later.

      Yeah, about that.
