[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.

68% of Cubans supported Trump in the last election.

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

      Yeah, about that.

      Funnily enough this is the second time he’s doing this to his own voters. Though, the first time was deportation to the afterlife via COVID.

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

          People will always be happy to stay home. you might as well get mad at the sky for being blue, and Palestine is going about how i’d expect regardless of who’s in office. You think harris was suddenly gonna change face, put on a cape, and swoop in to protect all of the orphans from colonizers? I’d actually expect her and Europe to be on board with the colonizations plans had she won.

              You are describing colonialism which as i said is the same as i’d expect to go for a Harris administration

              So fuck you too, you angry basement rat.

              Sincerely.
