在2024年大选中以68%的支持率助力唐纳德·特朗普胜选的佛罗里达州古巴裔社区，如今正对其大规模驱逐非法移民的政策产生强烈不满与背叛感 1。尽管特朗普政府兑现了竞选承诺并实施严厉遣返措施，白宫发言人声称自相关政策执行以来已有超过300万“非法外星人”离开美国，但无差别的逮捕行动及针对古巴人特殊移民待遇的取消引发了社区恐慌 1。具体而言，特朗普政府撤销了约30万名古巴人的临时人道主义假释资格，这一举措加剧了当地居民的焦虑情绪 1。
迈阿密移民律师伊斯梅尔·拉布拉多表示，由于其亲属被强制遣返回古巴，他对自己投票给特朗普感到后悔，并指出在当前环境下“没有绿卡就可能成为目标” 1。执法机构（ICE）的行动波及多名无证移民及其家庭：厄瓜多尔移民格雷斯·卡莱罗与其女儿朱莉安娜·卡里尔在医院接受治疗期间被捕并被迅速驱逐出境；海迪·桑切斯在常规报到时被捕遣返，留下身为美国公民的父亲照顾幼女，桑切斯形容这种分离之苦如同“天空塌陷压碎了我” 1。
政治层面亦出现分歧，共和党众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查通过公开视频抨击特朗普的驱逐政策“走得太远”，直言拉美裔群体感到被背叛 1。然而，民调数据显示该社区的政治立场具有复杂性：根据佛罗里达国际大学的调查，虽然76%的南佛罗里达古巴裔不赞成驱逐无犯罪记录者，但仍有68%的人计划在中期选举中继续支持共和党 1。相比之下，NBC News/Telemundo的民调显示全美拉丁裔选民态度更为消极，近60%希望国会由民主党控制，仅35%倾向共和党获胜 1。
A significant portion of the Cuban-American community that supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election is now voicing dissatisfaction with his administration’s aggressive immigration policies, despite continued plans to vote Republican. In the recent presidential election, 68% of Cuban Americans in Florida voted for Trump 1. However, the subsequent implementation of mass deportation measures has sparked fear and criticism within this demographic, particularly due to the removal of special protections previously afforded to them. The Trump administration revoked temporary humanitarian parole status for approximately 300,000 Cubans, a move that has intensified concerns about their legal standing 1.
The backlash stems from widespread arrests and deportations that do not distinguish between criminals and non-criminals. Miami immigration attorney Ismael Labrador expressed regret over his vote for Trump after his relatives were deported to Cuba, stating that lacking a green card made individuals potential targets 1. This sentiment was echoed by Representative Maria Elvira Salazar, who publicly criticized the deportation strategy as going "too far," arguing that Latino communities feel betrayed by the policy 1. Concrete examples of these enforcement actions include the detention and rapid deportation of Ecuadorian immigrant Grace Calero and her daughter Giulianna Carriel while they were receiving hospital treatment 1. Another case involved Heydi Sanchez, who was arrested during a routine ICE check-in and deported back to Cuba, leaving behind her father—who is a U.S. citizen—to care for their young daughter, Kailyn 1. Sanchez described the anguish of separation as feeling like the sky had collapsed on her 1.
Despite the growing unease regarding the harshness of the enforcement, political loyalty appears to remain intact among many Cuban Americans in the region. A poll conducted by Florida International University revealed that while 76% of South Florida Cuban Americans disapprove of Trump’s deportations of individuals without criminal records, 68% still intend to support the Republican Party in upcoming midterm elections 1. White House spokespersons maintain that the policies are effective, claiming that more than three million undocumented aliens have left the United States since the measures were implemented 1. In contrast to the Cuban-American stance, broader polling data from NBC News and Telemundo indicates that nearly 60% of registered Latino voters nationwide prefer Democratic control of Congress, with only 35% favoring a Republican victory 1.
