[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.

Cubans loved Trump in South Florida…I was shocked to find that out
I’m from the area and would occasionally listen to the talk radio. It was wild how hard they were trying to suck his dick universally. I never met a Cuban yet that wasn’t 100% Republican no matter who.
It’s because the single issue that a lot of Cuban-Americans vote on is “fuck the Castros”. Make the appropriate noises about fucking the Castros, and they’ll ignore everything else. El Taco was pretty open about fucking everyone who wasn’t Russia or a billionaire, so they heard “fuck the Castros” and ignored the “and you too”.
It is also machismo. I would argue more so. Empathy is seen as a weakness by and large by the community.
Don’t forget the Bay if Pigs fiasco was under a Democratic administration. Spanish language talk radio in Florida brings this up often…
im not shocked, i found out during 2020 elecitons, its actually all south american immigrants, venezuelans, columbias,argentinians, plus from asia VIETNMAESE, some chinese and maybe koreans.
This idiot is deporting the people who got him elected. If we ever have elections again, that’s going to sting the Republican party.
If we ever have elections again, that’s going to sting the Republican party…
Yeah, about that.
“I love you, Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.” - Donald Trump
hmm. People thought the same thing about the covid antivaxxers dying in record numbers. It didn’t seem to matter much 4 years later.
Because a ton of idiots were happy enough to stay home. Hope it works out for the protest non voters too. How’s this admin been on Palestine? Not what you wanted? Fucking weird!
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.
Yup, private entities (trump family) owning large swaths of land is clearly better.
Sincerely, fuck you.
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.
Bich I’m outside! Lol. Love that i upset your sensibilities though. Projection is a good look on you.
You opened your argument with a misspelled insult. You’re definitely a 15yo basement rat.
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.
venezuelans are next, and then Vietnamese and the rest of the south american republicans in florida, texas. of all the countries vietnam is doing better than the s american ones economically.
Donald Trump just casually creating more American leftists than an entire generation of Democrats could ever hope to create.
Well that’s because Democrats (at the party level, anyways) would never want to create leftists.
the old guard DNC are gop-lite, and alot of moderates are of center right or “gop-lite themselves”
Stupid hurts, no matter where you’re from.
You guys know the ones being deported can’t vote, right?
I mean, there’s a fair bit of evidence to the contrary
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.
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.
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.
Shhhhh!
Those being deported have friends and family who can vote and still support Trump.
So more of a “Leopards ate my friends and family’s faces” then. Idk, this doesn’t really bring me much schadenfreude.
south america has the jaguar, so jaguars and PUMA ate thier faces.
Given the number of citizens that are getting attacked I’m going to insert some doubt.
Fuck them.
Polls suggest that most Cuban American registered voters, who tend to be Republican, continue to support Mr. Trump…
Fuck 'em. Deport every last Trump-voting immigrant out. It’s what they wanted, right? I only wish ICE would stop there.
they are actually targeting more in places like florida and texas than in places like LA, minnesota. it just never get reported in the MSM, because its all owned by conservatives. he hasnt touched the rich cities like SF, ny because of the rich people there.
Say that to LA. A lot of commercially active places were hit pretty hard.
Good. They whole heatedly supported him.
I think the static is ~70% of Latinos voted for him. But I can guarantee it was closer to 99% of Cubans after listening to the radio in Miami.
Looks like you pulled those numbers out of your ass, and you also misspelled “statistic.”
Shocker I missed a single letter, not once but twice. And didn’t edit it.
It was more like 50+ for latinos.
But the gusanos specifically voted 68% for Trump- Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University:*
origin. In particular, the electoral preferences of the Cuban community are often juxtaposed with those of other Hispanic groups, especially Puerto Ricans. With respect to nationality of place of origin, Cubans and Puerto Ricans represent the two largest subgroups within the state’s Hispanic population. Cubans in Florida number over 1.6 million (7.2% of the state’s population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and constitute a key voting bloc for the Republican Party. Puerto Ricans, meanwhile, number over 1.2 million (5.4% of the population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and represent the traditional voting base of the Democrats, although the 2024 election results suggest that the party is facing more competition with respect to this group of voters
You do know someone posted a source that showed Latinos voted 68% for trump, right? So I wasn’t puking those numbers “out my ass” as you so eloquently put it.
as you so eloquently put it.
That was the other guy, I posted the 68%comment from A REAL AND REPUTABLE SOURCE: Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University:*
Use that and not “someone posted”, that’s not very convincing in an argument.
They are getting what they voted for. I won’t shed a tear for those who supported the bastard. Those who didn’t be safe.
Just a reminder that the orange shitstain’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is Cuban American.
I’ll save you a click, but when it comes to pulling up the ladder behind himself, there may be none finer than Rubio:
Marco Antonio Rubio was born in 1971 in Miami, Florida. … His parents were Cubans who immigrated to the United States in 1956 during the regime of Fulgencio Batista, two and a half years before Fidel Castro ascended to power after the Cuban Revolution. … Rubio’s parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio’s birth. They were naturalized in 1975. Some relatives of Rubio’s were admitted to the U.S. as refugees.
Rubio’s maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959. When in 1962 he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. without a visa, he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported. But immigration officials reversed their decision later that day, and the deportation order was not enforced. Instead, Garcia was reclassified to the legal status of “parolee” that allowed him to stay in the U.S. He reapplied for permanent resident status in 1966 after the Cuban Adjustment Act passed, and his residency was approved.
im actually surprised he dint change his name a little like the zodiac killer, ted cruz(from rafael cruz)
Holy shit, yeah, you’re right. He’s Cuban-(Canadian-)American too. Forgot about him entirely, which is always a happy moment.
But then you have the tragedy of remembering he exists on occasion.
it regularly flees to cancun to shed his skin when TEXAS gets extremely cold weather.
And this is why I cringe whenever Rubio boasts about knowing Spanish or awkwardly hints at being bilingual. Care to tell the cameras why the fuck you’re bilingual in the first place, asshole??
MSM will never trying to out him as a foreigner, much like miss LINDSEY isnt getting outed, the gop needs him.
You know, I realized after I wrote all that about Rubio that, under the new policies, Desi Arnaz would have been in line for deportation. No lie. Desi Arnaz (of I Love Lucy fame) was a Cuban-American who came from wealth, emigrated to the US with nothing, then made it big.
I don’t know if he ever got citizenship but he was uber-patriotic about his adopted home, and worked throughout WWII and a while afterward for the USO entertaining troops and getting starlets to visit wounded GIs in the hospital.
Unfortunately, later he was also arrested a couple of times for drunk and disorderly back in the 60s, at the height of his fame.
Desi fucking Arnaz. Everyone my age (I’m old) and plenty of others remember when he was literally iconic. There was never a bigger flag waver, never a better illustration of the now-long-gone “American Dream,” and he’d be the first to preach it.
But now they’d just deport him, without even letting him grab his ID to prove his legal status. Blows my goddamn mind.
Modern conservative would hate him for marrying a white woman.
he’d have some 'splaining to do.
Do Rubio! Do Rubio! Hell, throw in DeSantis too for good measure.
also ted rafael cruz.
why stop there. go after Raul in Texas.
lets not forget thiel and MUSK, both are immigrants.
This meme is so dishonest, at least in the context of immigration.
The promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants. What is happening is state-sponsored domestic terrorism, targeting of legal immigrants, and the wholesale disruption of communities.
What’s happening is not what people voted for, and they have every right to be pissed. (Which, judging by the 2025 elections, they very much are.)
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
It was not particularly veiled. The level of hysteria around immigrants “eating the cats and the dogs” and other insane statements made very, very clear trump thought every nonwhite immigrant was an illegal criminal. He constantly accused legal immigrants of being illegals. He said asylum seekers were illegals.
The thing that should be surprising is that actual criminals seem to be targeted at a lower rate than ever before.
Gotta let the drug crisis keep going as a pretext for every other crack down. As well I bet he’s getting some kick backs from some of the cartels.
Hard disagree.
Anyone who believed (or believes) that they were going to focus only on “the bad ones” (a racist, xenophobic, and factually inaccurate trope in and of itself) is at best willfully ignorant, and at worst an overt racist, as well as an abject idiot to boot.
It was extremely obvious what the regime’s predilections were during orangeboi’s first stint. They used the federal government as an instrument of retribution the first time around too, only there were people around to stop it at that time, and they didn’t understand the levers of power enough to effectively use them to achieve their aims. Now they do, and they are. None of this is a mystery. Every fucking bit of this was eminently predictable. You are not allowed to be surprised by this.
And yes: the Cuban population of Florida absolutely fell for this idiocy hook, line, and sinker. It’s horrible that they’re being targeted, but it’s horrible that any immigrant population is being targeted. The Cuban diaspora gets absolutely zero additional sympathy from me past the baseline of humanistic dignity, specifically because they wanted this, and they categorically ignored what “this” is. This is 10/10 leopards eating faces.
Here here!
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.
The promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants.
Anyone who says this is fucking lying and anyone who believes it is a fucking idiot.
They set a goal of 100m deportations. They said this before the elections. They did not hide it.
hilarious!
