To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers (www.nytimes.com)

[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.

You have completely lost the plot here.

They may have thought they were voting for something other than this shit show but it was extremely obvious that nothing good could come from voting for Trump if you aren't one of his friends.

This IS what people voted for, because they voted for this sack of shit and the project 2025 was written out well ahead of the elections.

They were lied to about many things, but they still voted for a lying liar and fucking should have known better.

This is everyone's fault who voted for this orange shit sack
