When asked in 2024 if mass deportations would harm Florida's agricultural industry, a farmer-legislator confidently said Trump wouldn't actually engage in an indiscriminate mass deportation program. Even if that did happen, he said, there will always be a supply of H-2A workers. (Pub. Oct. 2024)

When a Florida Farmer-Legislator Turned Against Immigration, the Consequences Were Severe. But Not for Him.
For a lawmaker’s political career and his farm, a federal visa program was a lifeline. For a young father trying to meet his son’s mounting medical needs, that same lifeline failed him.

Labor and Delivery is a locked unit in all hospitals because you can’t have randos wandering around stealing babies, so allowing ICE on the unit is a choice. Best believe ICE is not getting on my labor deck and shame on any hospital that lets them on theirs

If any Democratic president used a military audience as partisan prop, Republicans would melt down. The press would melt down. It was considered unthinkable until Trump showed R's and the media that oligarchic rule was within their reach.
