[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.

    promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants

    Yes. That’s what is happening. Anyone brown is a criminal to these folks.

    What is happening is state-sponsored domestic terrorism

    Well, also yes. How else were they going to hit the numbers they promised.

    Nothing they’re doing now is different than what was promised then. It’s just that people failed to understand what context the words were being spoken in. They ASSUMED the context wasn’t white nationalism. They were wrong.
