[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.

        So more of a “Leopards ate my friends and family’s faces” then. Idk, this doesn’t really bring me much schadenfreude.

        Such as? I sincerely want to know, my assumption was that if a significant number of citizens were being deported, I’d have heard about it. Plenty are being detained, I know.

          Throw a dart and you can find a news article of US citizens being detained and denied their due process and others being deported too. If you haven’t seen any at this point you’re willfully ignorant or malicious.

          I mean “significant number” for me is anything above zero. Detention is another issue as well.

            Well yeah but a couple people or even hundreds of people isn’t likely going to swing an election.
