[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.

    Many of these Cubans and Cuban Americans voted Trump because they hate Cuba and communism. Their reward from the Trump administration is to be forcibly brought back to the place they hate.

      the kicker is that the immigrants were also plantation owners, landlords, the BOURGEOIS that the communists hate they just got mad because thier exploitations got removed.

      It’s always blown my mind that this crowd doesn’t understand what communism is. They just know they hate it.

        Many of these folks are people that lost their plantation or were no longer allowed to be landlords because of communism. I feel like they have an inkling what communism is about. If all you are is a parasite, and communism weeds you out, you’re right to dislike communism, and the rest of the world is right to dislike you.

          My mother was never a landlord in Cuba and she hates Comunism regardless. She blames the hardships of her youth and current family on the castros, which I agree with, as they let corruption run rampart and imprison/kill their own citizenry. Hell I can’t even post a picture of my cousin after he got out of forced military training (2 years ago) due to fears that the goberment may pay my family a visit.

            Are you suggesting that corruption wasn’t an issue under Batista? Why do you blame communism but not the embargo thats designed to cripple an economy and force “hardships” for your mothers “hardships?”
