South Florida Poll Shows Cuban American Deportation Disapproval; Trinidad Cemetery Discovery
A Miami Herald poll released Thursday found 68 percent of Cubans and Cuban Americans in South Florida disapprove of the Trump administration's deportation of undocumented Cuban nationals without criminal records. Separately, Trinidad and Tobago police discovered 56 bodies, mostly children, at a cemetery in Cumuto, with authorities suspecting unlawful disposal of unclaimed corpses. The two stories represent distinct and unrelated regional news developments.
Progressive outlets are likely to highlight the poll as evidence that even within a traditionally conservative Cuban American community, the administration's deportation policies are generating significant opposition and humanitarian concern.
The Miami Herald poll documents measurable disapproval of Cuban deportation policy among South Florida's Cuban and Cuban American population, while Trinidad and Tobago authorities are actively investigating the circumstances of 56 bodies found at a Cumuto cemetery.
Conservative outlets may note that enforcement of immigration law applies uniformly regardless of nationality, and that polling of a localized South Florida community may not reflect broader Cuban American sentiment nationwide.
