Where’s the immigration reimbursement, governor? Florida shouldn’t have to pay | Opinion Florida spent $573 million on immigration enforcement. The reimbursement hasn’t arrived. | Opinion

"So far, DeSantis’ half-a-billion-dollar immigration gamble is looking like a cautionary tale about unchecked power, and Florida voters are looking like the losers."

North America won the World Cup together. It’s hosting apart. Mexico, Canada and the United States hoped to showcase continental unity. Instead, competing agendas are turning one World Cup into three parallel tournaments.

When the then-NAFTA nations decided to host the FIFA World Cup together, their message was simple: continental unity.

Eight years after winning the bid to host, the relationship between Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. is almost unrecognizable.

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The rise of extremism is seemingly everywhere, including our own college campuses here in South Florida.

Leadership matters, and the rhetoric coming from the top tiers of government is fueling a toxic political movement.

Who is Markwayne Mullin, named by Trump to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary? | CNN Politics President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he was ousting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and that GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma would replace her.

You can change leadership, but systems are harder to change. Based on what we know, Mullin seems to stem from the current system.

Enough with the excessive ‘emergency’ spending. Lawmakers must rein in DeSantis | Opinion Unfortunately, the governor has shown little ability to restrain himself from dipping into this tempting pile of taxpayer cash over and over. | Opinion

DeSantis has abused his emergency spending power, and the House has taken notice.

The FL House filed a surprise bill last Thursday that adds restrictions to the governor's emergency spending. If passed, emergency spending would require legislative oversight

Will Cuban Americans Choose Trumpism, or Solidarity? - Public Books Voting overwhelmingly for Trump, Cuban Americans are now mostly silent as the new administration cracks down on all migrants, including Cubans.

The relationship between the Cuban diaspora and its place in US immigration politics, the Latin American immigrant community, and what it means to believe in a fading American Dream is evolving.

Right now, what does Cuban solidarity look like to you? 🇨🇺

DeSantis calls 11th-hour special session to redraw Florida’s congressional map DeSantis said the Legislature should wait “as long as is feasible” before redrawing Florida’s map, a process that could help Republicans retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

DeSantis just called a last-minute special session to redraw Florida’s congressional map- only 4 years after the last redistricting. Maps are drawn every 10 years after the census.

In an election year, this looks like a blatant power grab.
