The Miami Herald published a poll in April 2026 focusing on Cuban Americans in South Florida and their views on deportations. The survey found significant disagreement within the community about immigration enforcement and the handling of Cuban migrants, with a majority reportedly disapproving of deportations in the results summarized by outlets reporting on the poll.[1][9]
Related coverage in 2025–2026 shows ongoing debate within the Cuban-American community in Florida about Trump's immigration policies, including concerns raised by some Cuban-American elected officials and voices within the community who oppose deportations in certain cases.[2][7]
National and local outlets highlighted that, while many Cuban Americans in South Florida have historically supported tougher policy toward Cuba and migrants, opinions on deportations are not uniform and can diverge from overall partisan alignment, reflecting a nuanced political landscape in this voting bloc.[5][10]
