Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

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.

68% of Cubans supported Trump in the last election.

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.

If we ever have elections again, that’s going to sting the Republican party...

Yeah, about that.

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.

Lol. You are so delusional it's funny. You fucking enabled trump and helped destroyed my home.

You live with that "basement dweller". You have no moral high ground here. You are part of the problem.

No way it could've been aave. Which would've been a more appropriate place to start your criticism.

No, that's definitely not the case!

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.
