This weekon NewsNight, an in-depth
look at the concernsof hospitality workers
in Florida amidthe changing immigration
enforcement landscape.
Plus, a look at plansfor a regulated black bear
hunting season in Floridaand next steps
in the developmentof a permanent Pulse Memorial.
News night starts now.
(00:32):
Hello, I'm Steve Mort.
Welcome to NewsNight,where we take an in-depth
look at the top storiesand issues in Central Florida
and how they shapeour community.
First, tonight, the USSupreme Court this week cleared
the way for the Trumpadministration
to deport peopleto third countries.
It's the latest High Courtdecision
to side with the White House.
Recently, the justices gave
the Departmentof Homeland Security
(00:54):
the green lightto end humanitarian parole
and Temporary Protected Status,or TPS,
for hundreds of thousandsof migrants.
Florida'shome to the largest number
of TPSrecipients in the country.
The end to deportationprotections
for nationals of certain
countries is already impactingthe tourism industry.
Dozens of Venezuelans employedby Disney were recently told
(01:15):
they could no longer work there.
Hundreds of thousands
more Venezuelans could losetheir TPS status in September
if it isn't extendedby the federal government.
And advocates say those effectscould be even broader.
Krystel Knowles has been talkingto unions that represent
many migrant hospitalityworkers.
>>Oscar Tineo has spent the pastsix years becoming a familiar
(01:37):
face at Epcot, working as a cookand building a new life
in the US.
>>We run awayfrom the Venezuelan regime.
>>Oscar was granted
asylum a few years agoand is now a union shop steward.
>>Right now...>>
But the future for his familyand coworkers is uncertain,
and he fearssome may face deportation
(01:58):
if the Trump administrationterminates the 2021
TPS designation for Venezuela.
>>Most of the people thinkwe are a permanent resident
already.
We are okay, but we are not
because I have family, close,like the mother of my wife,
my mother in lawand my sister in law.
They have TPS of 2021
(02:21):
and that's a realitythat we cannot hide.
>>Julie Jerkovich Lorethwith United Food
and Commercial WorkersUnion 1625, says the union
represents thousandsof Disney World cast members.
Some have already lost TPS
and many others will loseprotections this year.
>>I always assure themthat, you know
(02:42):
America has a place for them,and I know how much many of them
love working at Disney.
And here in Central Florida.
You know,they're such an important part
of our industry and tourismand hospitality.
>>We calculate between 15%and 20% of their workforce
at Disney atthis point is from Venezuela.
(03:05):
So that's a lot of people.
If we are talkingthen we are 70,000 cast members.
20% is around 14,000.
And I understand it is not easyto find 14,000 people
to replace all these cast memberthat work at Disney.
>>Tineo comparesthe way ICE is carrying out
enforcement to the repressionhe left behind in Venezuela.
(03:27):
>>Of course,we feel really, really bad
and some of them feel depressed
because we feel thatit is not fair.
And when you seethen they go to construction
or they go to the farmand start hunting people.
If they say, then when Maduro
went against most of us,they are doing the same.
(03:50):
And for me, that's bad.
>>Oscar Tineo closing thatreport from Krystel Knowles.
Well, let's bring in our panelnow to break it all down
and joining us in the studiothis week
for the first time,Joe Byrnes from Central Florida
Public Media.
You live in Ocala and you'vedriven all the way down here.
So I really appreciate youmaking the trip to see us.
>>You bet, Steve.>>Thanks for coming in, Joe.
Stephanie Rodriguez
(04:10):
coming back to the programfrom WKMG News 6.
Good to see you,Stephanie. >>Nice
to see you, too, Steve.>>And coming back to the program,
Massiel Leyva from SpectrumNews 13.
>>Thank youfor having me. >>Thanks
for coming in today, guys.
Let's start on the,differences between the way
the Trump administration
and the Bidenadministration view
the concept of temporaryprotection.
Stephanie, there is a big gapthere. >>Absolutely.
(04:32):
I mean, under the Bidenadministration,
they really expandedthe number of people
who were eligible for TPS.
It was during his time in office
that Venezuelan were giventhat designation
because of political turmoilunder Nicolás Maduro.
And it is a designationthat does need to be extended
every 18 months.That's per policy.
So before the Bidenadministration
left the White House,then, Secretary,
(04:54):
Alejandro Mayorkasdid extend it for Venezuelans.
So they were really,
really protecting TPS and tryingto get as many people under it
as they could.
And then we saw a 180 turnwhen the Trump administration
came in.
We've seen HomelandSecurity vacate TPS for several
countries.
Venezuela,Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua.
And we've seen, of course,a lot of, opposition to that.
(05:17):
We've seen a lawsuit that wentall the way up to the U.S.
Supreme Courtto try to stop those,
TPS vacancies that they've donesince going into office.
But we did see the U.S.
Supreme Court sidewith the Trump
administration, which has left
hundreds of thousands of peopleat risk of deportation.
And they also lost their work
permits,like we just saw with Disney.
A lot of people are
unable to workbecause when they have TPS,
(05:39):
that allows themto have work permits
and then also not have the fearof deportation.
>>I want to talk a little bitmore about that separate,
Biden era humanitarian,humanitarian, parole
program for nationals of Cuba,Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
This month,
the Trump administration begansending termination notices
to parolees.
(05:59):
Let's heara couple of voices on that,
starting with Eduardo Gamarra,a political scientist
at FloridaInternational University,
will then hear from MarkKrikorian
from the Centerfor Immigration Studies,
a think tank that advocatesfor lower levels of immigration.
Take a listen.
>>This is
an enormous number of peoplethat it affects, right?
And becausewe're talking about TPS
(06:22):
and we're also talkingabout the humanitarian parole.
So so if you combineboth of those,
there's you're you're talkingabout half a million people
that have been affected.
I have never seenthis population here in Miami.
Right?
With the kind of fearthat they express now.
(06:44):
Right?
We have students who don't wantto come to the university
because they, becausewe now have essentially, FIU,
our FIU police are deputized ICEagents, right?
People who don't want to,you know, go out
because of the fear that their,
their legal status is in suchlimbo.
(07:05):
>>The parole programs that the
Biden administrationinstituted were illegal.
Parole.
The parole and programcan't even go together.
It's supposed to be,kind of one off,
exceptional circumstancesthing.
In other words,
somebody you need somebodyto testify at a trial,
(07:25):
and he's excludablehe's not allowed
to come into the United Statesbecause he's a gang member.
You can parole himin, escort him to the trial.
He gives his testimony,you take him back.
That'sthe kind of thing parole is for.
Establishing a parole programis, on its face, illegal.
And so obviously, the, the administration had the far
(07:46):
authorization to end it.
>>Mark Krikorianfrom the Center for Immigration
Studies. Massiel,let me come to you on this one.
When you factor in that SCOTUSdecision on parole,
in addition to, TPS, what is the impact in Florida?
>>Well,
they're expecting
to see, Steve, a huge impact
because we're talking about
530,000 peoplewho came here to this country
under this parole program.
(08:08):
We're talking about Cuba,Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti.
And out of those 530,000,we see 80% of those
people are here in Florida,
and they're workingin industries
that are>>That█s a large percentage. >>
huge, yes, amount of peopleand we're talking
about industrieslike construction, hospitality.
and they're expecting thatthis could have a big impact
on the economy of the state.
>>I mean, beyondparole and TPS, Joe,
(08:29):
it seems that immigrationenforcement
has ramped up in Central Florida
pretty significantly overrecent weeks.
>>Yes, indeed.
That, and I think there'sa lot of concern,
especially about the peoplewho are being arrested,
that the rhetoric,of course, was
these are criminals,these are criminal aliens.
But what we're seeingis a lot of stories
(08:51):
for people who are not.
Are business owners, you know,and the, the family from Apopka
went in for an appointment and,the husband is detained
and sent off to Texasand deported to Guatemala.,
and the mom eventuallyis also deported
on a ticket she bought, to Guatemala as well.
(09:13):
And so you see a lot of that.
>>What have you been seeing,Stephanie, from your reporting,
have we been seeing asignificant uptick? >>We have.
And as you mentioned, you know,it's who's being detained.
We've seen several cases here
in Central Florida of peoplewho have already started
a citizenship case.
They they're in the processof trying to obtain U.S.
citizenshipand they're being detained.
I covered a casein Osceola County.
(09:35):
A woman was detainedfor allegedly driving
without a valid driver'slicense.
She's arrested.
She's able to get an attorney,
and they get those chargesdropped right away because
she is a legal immigrant.
She does have a valid,
driver's license,but the charges are dropped,
and she is still detained by ICEafter the charges are dropped
and she's sentto a detention center in Texas.
She spent two and a half monthsthere
(09:55):
trying to prove that she hasan asylum case in process.
She's from Colombia,
unableto really talk to her family
in a roomwith 10 to 12 other people.
Eventually,they're able to prove
she is a legal immigrantand that she is here lawfully
doing the process the right way,as some people would say.
And she's brought backto Central Florida.
And we've seen a similar casein Kissimmee as well.
(10:15):
A man was visiting the GrandCanyon, and he was from Brazil.
And he's also in the processof getting citizenship.
He's detained while sightseeing,
and he's in a detention centerin Arizona.
So a lot of questionsabout who's being detained
and how you can proveyou are a legal immigrant.
>>Meanwhile, the census administration
is rolling out plans to rapidlybuild
a detention facilitycalled Alligator
(10:37):
Alcatraz at the Miami-DadeCounty owned airstrip
in the Big CypressNational Preserve.
Here's part of a video put outby the Florida Attorney General.
>>People get out.
There'snot much waiting for them
other than alligatorsand pythons.
Nowhere to go,nowhere to hide within
just 30 to 60 daysafter we begin construction.
It could be up and running
(10:57):
and could house as manyas a thousand criminal aliens.
This is presentsa great opportunity
for the state of Florida
to work with Miami Dadeand Collier County's Alligator.
Alcatraz. We're ready to go.
>>James Uthmeier there.
In that video posted on X.
The state used emergency
powers, right, Joe,to seize that land. this week.
What more do we knowabout those Alligator
(11:18):
Alcatraz plans and potentially,
I think, a second sitein the north of the state. >>So
they're looking tohouse 1000, immigrants at,
Alligator
Alcatraz asthey call it, in tents, mostly.
I mean, there'll be someportable buildings and stuff,
but the people would be intents.
It makes you wonderwhat the conditions will be like
in the Everglades.
(11:39):
Famous for its mosquitoesand its heat.
The, the other site
that you're talking about
is at Camp Blanding,which is up near Jacksonville.
And that's a National Guard,training center. >>Yeah.
And we should note, of course,environmentalists are
pretty concerned as well
about the location
that in the Everglades.Democrats, of course, say
AlligatorAlcatraz is a land grab.
(12:00):
Orlando.
Congressman MaxwellFrost this week or the idea
a cruel spectacle.
Just last week,
he said he'd file a bill aimedat increasing
transparency and accountabilityat detention facilities.
>>Being undocumented inthis country is not a crime.
That's right, a civil offense.
No human deserves to be caged,brutalized,
or disappeared for it.
(12:21):
And no one is safein this country.
We've heard about U.S.
citizens
being wrongfully detainedunder Florida's extreme
immigrationenforcement policies,
and this is what's happeningacross this country.
It's a culture of fearand of chaos.
>>CongressmanFrost there, Massiel
let me come to you on this one.
What exactly is CongressmanFrost pushing for in this bill?
(12:43):
You've covered this.>>Yes.
I was actually thereat the press conference
when he introduced it,what they called
the Stop Unlawful Detentionand End Mistreatment Act.
He called it the SUDEM Act.
This means that they want to
see more accountabilityand transparency in those ICE
detention facilitiesand isolation centers.
They want to know
who is being detained,why the reasoning behind it,
(13:04):
and also to make surethat the prisons
and these centers as well
are releasing, some informationlike demographic ages, names,
because they're saying that
some of the familiesdo not have access to know
where their loved ones are.
So that's exactly what the bill
that he introducedis pushing for.
>>Well, let's, talk aboutsome of the detentions locally.
Advocacy groups
have have criticized those,particularly in Orange County.
(13:26):
But what have the mayor,
and the county commissionhad to say about them?
What we've seen, we've talked
about the ramped up numbersof detentions in our area.
What are the officials saying?
>>Well,the Orange County mayor is
reluctantly,I would say, complying
because I don't thinkhe has any choice.
So he doesn't see thathe has any choice but to comply.
One of the big concernsthat people raised
(13:47):
is, is the ideathat people are disappearing
into the Orange County jail,so they come in, could be on a,
a local charge orthey could have a traffic stop
right, and end upbeing detained, for ICE.
And in the process,they're booked.
And then all of a suddenthey disappear from the jail.
They're not.
(14:08):
What has happenedis they have been transferred
to ICE, detained ICE custodyat the jail, and the county
doesn't provide any informationabout them at that point.
So the families, the lawyers saythey're being disappeared.
It's part of the processthey're going through.
And you could sort of say OrangeCounty is kind of caught
in this situation.
But they also have, what's itcalled, Intergovernmental
(14:32):
Service agreement.
It goes back to the 80s, with, with ICE
or with the federal governmentso that they can actually house,
detainees
from all over the state,not not just out of this county.
And they're doing that.
>>Well,
part of that
concern at the county levelmight be
the economic consequences of,mass deportations in Florida.
(14:55):
Let's talka little bit more about that.
First of all, let's listento what Mark Krikorian
from the center for ImmigrationStudies told me in his pushback
to the assertion
that the policy could devastate
industriessuch as tourism and agriculture.
>>With regard to ag there'san unlimited ag worker program,
the H-2a program.
It's just that farmersdon't want to bother with it
because it involvespay requirements
(15:18):
and transportation and housingand what have you.
But moreand more of them are using it
and have been using it overa number of years.
Its uses exploded.
So for ag
the argument just doesn'tit doesn't hold water at all.
For other industries,
hospitality, meatpacking,what have you.
Yeah. It'snot going to be pleasant.
And if all illegal labordisappeared tomorrow
(15:40):
kind of in some magical way,that would really be disruptive.
It's not the way things work.
This is a process, not an event.
And as a process,the market will adjust.
>>Mark Krikorian there,
there have been conflictingmessages,
haven't there, Stephanie,out of the Trump administration
about the deportations ofworkers in certain industries,
(16:02):
what is the latest?We know on that?
>>Absolutely.
I mean, when we thinkback to the campaign, you know,
President Trump ran on massdeportation, mass deportation.
We saw that everywhere.
Now people are being removed.
And he's going backand saying on social media,
well,we don't want to hurt the farms.
We can't let the farms goout of business.
You know, he's
saying that on social media,but he's still allowing
(16:22):
workplace ratesto happen at farms,
also at hotels,also at restaurants.
You know, the USDA reports
that roughly half of farmworkershere in
the United States have lacklegal immigration status.
So President Trump is sayingby posting on social media,
we can't let the farms goout of business, that he's aware
of the contributionthat they make to America.
(16:43):
They make sure that we havefruits
and vegetables on the shelves.
They make sure the hotel workersthat our beds are cleaned.
When we come back to the room,
that we have a waiterat the restaurant.
But then the mass deportationefforts continue.
In the workplace, ratesare continued to be ramped up.
>>Do we know how vulnerable,Joe, Florida is to the idea
of massive deportationswhen it comes to the economy?
>>It looks like Floridais very vulnerable.
(17:03):
I mean,when you look at the industries,
that are so importantin Florida, Massiel was kind of
mentioning these earlier,
agriculture, hospitality,construction.
I mean,what can be more important
in Florida and Central Floridathan those industries?
And, undocumented workersmake up
a hefty percentageof those workers.
(17:25):
>>What have you been seeing,
Massiel, you've been coveringthis as well.
>>Absolutely,the same thing we've seen.
I've been able to speakwith some farm workers,
in different areasof Volusia County.
And they mentionedthey're scared.
They're seeing more peoplethat simply do not come to work.
They they're just in fear.
And, for the owners of this,for example, ferneries,
they're saying thatthey're losing their workforce.
(17:45):
They they don't know how theycan find more people to work.
And now the peoplethat they had,
they're not coming in to work.
>>Certainlythe fern business is a
big business in placeslike Pierson.
So we'll keep an eye on thisas we go forward.
Be sure to find uson social media.
Meanwhile, we're at WUCFTV, on Facebook and Instagram
and also findus on X at News Night WUCF.
(18:07):
Okay, next tonight,the Pulse Nightclub building
is set to be demolished laterthis year.
Recently, survivors
and the familiesof those who died in the mass
shooting got a chanceto look inside the building
for the first timesince the tragedy.
It comes
as the city of Orlando securesfunding and prepares final plans
for a permanent memorialat the site in SoDo.
Nine years on, the Pulse sitefor some is frozen in time.
(18:30):
Along with family membersand survivors,
journalists were recentlyallowed
to tour inside the building,but without taking photographs.
The City of Orlando purchasedthe site in 2023 for $2 million,
with a viewto finally completing
a permanent memorialto the 49 people who died there.
At the timethe worst mass shooting in U.S.
history, the city is selectinga contractor to develop a plan
(18:52):
based on a conceptual design
agreed to by the PulseMemorial Committee.
The current building is expected
to be demolishedlater this year, and it's
hoped a permanent memorialwill be completed by 2027.
Certainly,a lot of people anticipating
that a permanent memorialbeing put in place.
Joe, what was the reasonfor the walk of that site?
What was the thinkingbehind that?
(19:12):
>>Well, DonnaWyche talked about the reason
when she's the engagementcoordinator for, for the city,
she talked about the reasonfor it.
And basically the reasonis the families demanded it.
They needed it.
So they're goingto tear this building down.
They've never been in there.
They've never seen the placewhere their loved ones,
breathed their last breath.
(19:34):
And nowyou're going to destroy it.
So it was really,really important.
Donna Wyche describedit as not closure, right?
But a partof the journey of grief.
And forfor some of those people,
it was extremely important,very emotional and,
you know, just really gladthe city did that.
(19:56):
>>Well,I think all your outlets
have been talkingto people who made that tour.
What did you guyshear? Stephanie?
>>One of my managers,actually,
was what part of the mediathat was able to go in
and he kind of describewhat it was like for him.
He was there on scene
reportingthe night that it happened,
and he said it was very soberingto see,
you know,
the remnants of whatwas supposed to be
an amazing place
where people could gatherwithout judgment
(20:17):
and to know what happened there
and to be able to be with,you know, see the families
and see that,
as he mentioned, it'snot closure,
but it does help at least movethe process forward
and kind of try to accept thatthis is going to be no more.
Pulse will not exist anymore.
>>Well, what is next then?
In the process of demolishingthis building
(20:37):
and putting up a new, permanent,
permanent memorial,do we have a time frame there?
>>Well, we do, right nowwe know that the next step, now
that the visits have concluded,will be that there will be
the city
will be
demolishing the actual siteso they can make space for that,
permanent memorial to honorthe lives of the 49 people
who passed awaythat day in that shooting.
But we also know that the cityis now
collaborating with the countyas well.
(20:59):
Recently,Orange County announced
that they're going to be contributing to that.
So we're looking at
maybe end of 2027to see the permanent memorial.
>>How does that costlook? >>You know,
the city is estimating about $12
millionbetween design and construction.
And they said thatthey will put forth 7.5 million.
And then the Orange Countyis also collaborating.
They saidthey'll put up to 5 million,
which does give themsome wiggle wiggle room
(21:20):
if they are to go over that
essential,that initial $12 million mark.
But it will fall on the county,
on the city and,and the county now.
Not fall on them,
But they're willing to pay itto memorialize
the 49 peoplethat perished there.
>>You can find a link tothe memorial conceptual design
on our websiteat wucf.org/newsnight.
Okay.
(21:41):
Florida's black
bear population is once again atthe center of a heated debate.
The state's Fish and WildlifeConservation
Commission is moving forwardwith plans
for a regulated bearhunting season in December.
Supporterscall it population control.
Critics say it'sunnecessary and dangerous.
FWC says plans for a bear huntinclude
strict permit limitsand designated hunting zones.
(22:03):
Officialssay the goal is to manage bear
populations and reducehuman bear conflicts, promising
the hunt will be scientificallyguided and closely monitored.
But conservation groups arguethe data doesn't support
a hunt
pointing to stable bear numbers
and callingfor non-lethal solutions.
Instead, they fear
the move
could reverse years of progressin protecting the species.
(22:24):
The commission is expected
to finalize the rules laterthis year.
Okay, Joe, this is a storythat you've covered
a lot up there in Ocala.
What are the mainsort of ecological
and population managementarguments,
I guess, that are being used
to justify the reintroductionof a bear hunt?
>>Well,
one of the really interesting
commentsthat I heard from a FWC official
(22:47):
at the hearingin Ocala was basically that
bears are a game species.
In other words,you're supposed to hunt them
and they havea sustainable population
to where you could hunt themevery year.
I think for a lot of peoplethat shock you,
they don't think of bearsas a game species.
But that's apparently is how the
Fish and Wildlife ConservationCommission looked at them.
(23:08):
So I think, you know,you can see
it's for is for populationcontrol for the bears.
Okay.
And one of the interestingthings
is that the people in Floridamay not have really realized it,
but at this last election,they actually approved
that they votedfor the right to fish and hunt.
But in that amendment,it also says that hunting
is the preferredspecies management approach.
(23:32):
So, I find that interesting.
A lot of people wouldn'thave thought that.
One of the interesting pointsI wanted to point out
is that in Central Florida,
actually there are only 18 bearpermits this year.
So the other places that arewell over 100 total of 187.
But in Central Floridawe have so few because basically
bears are getting killedalready on the roads.
(23:54):
People are hitting bearson a regular basis.
>>Yeah that's true.
What's the timetablegoing going forward on this?
And what is sort of thethe plans in terms of
how this hunt will take placeand who gets a permit?
>>Right,
so this is happening in 23 daysin December, 187 bears.
You enter a lottery paying$5 to enter
a lotteryto get a permit to kill a bear.
(24:17):
It's different from 2015 whenbasically they opened the hunt
and over 300bears were killed in two days
and it was a messand people were outraged.
This is a much more controlledhunt. >>Yeah.
News six has been lookingat this issue as well, right?
I mean, the rebound
that we've seen in recent yearsand in the black bear numbers,
(24:38):
has been seen as a major victoryfor conservationists.
>>Absolutely.
It's estimated that right nowin Florida,
we have about 4000 black bears.
And if we go back to just
the 1970s,there was only several hundred.
So they've the population hasjust really grown since then.
>>So actuallyover the decades. >>Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
But you know, people
who are against this, bear huntjust kind of say that it's
(24:59):
a trophy hunt.
It's not really to mitigatepopulation.
It's just to hang a bear on your, for your wall.
There has beensome squeamishness,
hasn't there, Joe,about some of the rules,
being able to hunt at feedingstations and things like that.
There are some specificsof this bear hunt
that are causingconservationists
and animal rightspeople to be squeamish about it.
>>Yeah, absolutely.
(25:20):
You've got this very stronggroup of people pushing for
huntingand their hunting rights,
and you've got a group of peoplevery concerned
about the impact on the bearpopulation.
But, the feeding stationsissue is a big deal.
The, you know, you the bearcomes to the station there
and you can
the state likes itbecause they're saying,
well, you can pick the big bear.
(25:42):
You know, you can pick the largemale bear that you want
to hunt versus the female bearthat might get killed otherwise.
But that's that's controversial,that you're essentially
catching the bear when it'scoming into a vulnerable place.
Dogs hunting with dogsis not this year, but
in future years, you'll be ableto use dogs to hunt bears.
(26:02):
That's also very controversial.
>>Well,
it will be interesting
to see how the bear hunt playsout, of course, when
hunting begins in December.
But that is all the time we havefor this week.
My thanks to Joe Byrnes fromCentral Florida Public Media.
Stephanie Rodriguez,WKMG News 6, Massiel Leyva
from Spectrum News 13. Goodand interesting conversation.
Thanks so much for comingin, guys.
Newsnight will be taking a break
(26:22):
for Capitol Fourth next Friday,but we will be back
the following Fridaynight at 830 here on WUCF.
In the meantime, from all of ushere at News Night,
take a and have a great week.
This weekon NewsNight, an in-depth
look at the concernsof hospitality workers
in Florida amidthe changing immigration
enforcement landscape.
Plus, a look at plansfor a regulated black bear
hunting season in Floridaand next steps
in the developmentof a permanent Pulse Memorial.
News night starts now.
(00:32):
Hello, I'm Steve Mort.
Welcome to NewsNight,where we take an in-depth
look at the top storiesand issues in Central Florida
and how they shapeour community.
First, tonight, the USSupreme Court this week cleared
the way for the Trumpadministration
to deport peopleto third countries.
It's the latest High Courtdecision
to side with the White House.
Recently, the justices gave
the Departmentof Homeland Security
(00:54):
the green lightto end humanitarian parole
and Temporary Protected Status,or TPS,
for hundreds of thousandsof migrants.
Florida'shome to the largest number
of TPSrecipients in the country.
The end to deportationprotections
for nationals of certain
countries is already impactingthe tourism industry.
Dozens of Venezuelans employedby Disney were recently told
(01:15):
they could no longer work there.
Hundreds of thousands
more Venezuelans could losetheir TPS status in September
if it isn't extendedby the federal government.
And advocates say those effectscould be even broader.
Krystel Knowles has been talkingto unions that represent
many migrant hospitalityworkers.
>>Oscar Tineo has spent the pastsix years becoming a familiar
(01:37):
face at Epcot, working as a cookand building a new life
in the US.
>>We run awayfrom the Venezuelan regime.
>>Oscar was granted
asylum a few years agoand is now a union shop steward.
>>Right now...>>
But the future for his familyand coworkers is uncertain,
and he fearssome may face deportation
(01:58):
if the Trump administrationterminates the 2021
TPS designation for Venezuela.
>>Most of the people thinkwe are a permanent resident
already.
We are okay, but we are not
because I have family, close,like the mother of my wife,
my mother in lawand my sister in law.
They have TPS of 2021
(02:21):
and that's a realitythat we cannot hide.
>>Julie Jerkovich Lorethwith United Food
and Commercial WorkersUnion 1625, says the union
represents thousandsof Disney World cast members.
Some have already lost TPS
and many others will loseprotections this year.
>>I always assure themthat, you know
(02:42):
America has a place for them,and I know how much many of them
love working at Disney.
And here in Central Florida.
You know,they're such an important part
of our industry and tourismand hospitality.
>>We calculate between 15%and 20% of their workforce
at Disney atthis point is from Venezuela.
(03:05):
So that's a lot of people.
If we are talkingthen we are 70,000 cast members.
20% is around 14,000.
And I understand it is not easyto find 14,000 people
to replace all these cast memberthat work at Disney.
>>Tineo comparesthe way ICE is carrying out
enforcement to the repressionhe left behind in Venezuela.
(03:27):
>>Of course,we feel really, really bad
and some of them feel depressed
because we feel thatit is not fair.
And when you seethen they go to construction
or they go to the farmand start hunting people.
If they say, then when Maduro
went against most of us,they are doing the same.
(03:50):
And for me, that's bad.
>>Oscar Tineo closing thatreport from Krystel Knowles.
Well, let's bring in our panelnow to break it all down
and joining us in the studiothis week
for the first time,Joe Byrnes from Central Florida
Public Media.
You live in Ocala and you'vedriven all the way down here.
So I really appreciate youmaking the trip to see us.
>>You bet, Steve.>>Thanks for coming in, Joe.
Stephanie Rodriguez
(04:10):
coming back to the programfrom WKMG News 6.
Good to see you,Stephanie. >>Nice
to see you, too, Steve.>>And coming back to the program,
Massiel Leyva from SpectrumNews 13.
>>Thank youfor having me. >>Thanks
for coming in today, guys.
Let's start on the,differences between the way
the Trump administration
and the Bidenadministration view
the concept of temporaryprotection.
Stephanie, there is a big gapthere. >>Absolutely.
(04:32):
I mean, under the Bidenadministration,
they really expandedthe number of people
who were eligible for TPS.
It was during his time in office
that Venezuelan were giventhat designation
because of political turmoilunder Nicolás Maduro.
And it is a designationthat does need to be extended
every 18 months.That's per policy.
So before the Bidenadministration
left the White House,then, Secretary,
(04:54):
Alejandro Mayorkasdid extend it for Venezuelans.
So they were really,
really protecting TPS and tryingto get as many people under it
as they could.
And then we saw a 180 turnwhen the Trump administration
came in.
We've seen HomelandSecurity vacate TPS for several
countries.
Venezuela,Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua.
And we've seen, of course,a lot of, opposition to that.
(05:17):
We've seen a lawsuit that wentall the way up to the U.S.
Supreme Courtto try to stop those,
TPS vacancies that they've donesince going into office.
But we did see the U.S.
Supreme Court sidewith the Trump
administration, which has left
hundreds of thousands of peopleat risk of deportation.
And they also lost their work
permits,like we just saw with Disney.
A lot of people are
unable to workbecause when they have TPS,
(05:39):
that allows themto have work permits
and then also not have the fearof deportation.
>>I want to talk a little bitmore about that separate,
Biden era humanitarian,humanitarian, parole
program for nationals of Cuba,Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
This month,
the Trump administration begansending termination notices
to parolees.
(05:59):
Let's heara couple of voices on that,
starting with Eduardo Gamarra,a political scientist
at FloridaInternational University,
will then hear from MarkKrikorian
from the Centerfor Immigration Studies,
a think tank that advocatesfor lower levels of immigration.
Take a listen.
>>This is
an enormous number of peoplethat it affects, right?
And becausewe're talking about TPS
(06:22):
and we're also talkingabout the humanitarian parole.
So so if you combineboth of those,
there's you're you're talkingabout half a million people
that have been affected.
I have never seenthis population here in Miami.
Right?
With the kind of fearthat they express now.
(06:44):
Right?
We have students who don't wantto come to the university
because they, becausewe now have essentially, FIU,
our FIU police are deputized ICEagents, right?
People who don't want to,you know, go out
because of the fear that their,
their legal status is in suchlimbo.
(07:05):
>>The parole programs that the
Biden administrationinstituted were illegal.
Parole.
The parole and programcan't even go together.
It's supposed to be,kind of one off,
exceptional circumstancesthing.
In other words,
somebody you need somebodyto testify at a trial,
(07:25):
and he's excludablehe's not allowed
to come into the United Statesbecause he's a gang member.
You can parole himin, escort him to the trial.
He gives his testimony,you take him back.
That'sthe kind of thing parole is for.
Establishing a parole programis, on its face, illegal.
And so obviously, the, the administration had the far
(07:46):
authorization to end it.
>>Mark Krikorianfrom the Center for Immigration
Studies. Massiel,let me come to you on this one.
When you factor in that SCOTUSdecision on parole,
in addition to, TPS, what is the impact in Florida?
>>Well,
they're expecting
to see, Steve, a huge impact
because we're talking about
530,000 peoplewho came here to this country
under this parole program.
(08:08):
We're talking about Cuba,Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti.
And out of those 530,000,we see 80% of those
people are here in Florida,
and they're workingin industries
that are>>That█s a large percentage. >>
huge, yes, amount of peopleand we're talking
about industrieslike construction, hospitality.
and they're expecting thatthis could have a big impact
on the economy of the state.
>>I mean, beyondparole and TPS, Joe,
(08:29):
it seems that immigrationenforcement
has ramped up in Central Florida
pretty significantly overrecent weeks.
>>Yes, indeed.
That, and I think there'sa lot of concern,
especially about the peoplewho are being arrested,
that the rhetoric,of course, was
these are criminals,these are criminal aliens.
But what we're seeingis a lot of stories
(08:51):
for people who are not.
Are business owners, you know,and the, the family from Apopka
went in for an appointment and,the husband is detained
and sent off to Texasand deported to Guatemala.,
and the mom eventuallyis also deported
on a ticket she bought, to Guatemala as well.
(09:13):
And so you see a lot of that.
>>What have you been seeing,Stephanie, from your reporting,
have we been seeing asignificant uptick? >>We have.
And as you mentioned, you know,it's who's being detained.
We've seen several cases here
in Central Florida of peoplewho have already started
a citizenship case.
They they're in the processof trying to obtain U.S.
citizenshipand they're being detained.
I covered a casein Osceola County.
(09:35):
A woman was detainedfor allegedly driving
without a valid driver'slicense.
She's arrested.
She's able to get an attorney,
and they get those chargesdropped right away because
she is a legal immigrant.
She does have a valid,
driver's license,but the charges are dropped,
and she is still detained by ICEafter the charges are dropped
and she's sentto a detention center in Texas.
She spent two and a half monthsthere
(09:55):
trying to prove that she hasan asylum case in process.
She's from Colombia,
unableto really talk to her family
in a roomwith 10 to 12 other people.
Eventually,they're able to prove
she is a legal immigrantand that she is here lawfully
doing the process the right way,as some people would say.
And she's brought backto Central Florida.
And we've seen a similar casein Kissimmee as well.
(10:15):
A man was visiting the GrandCanyon, and he was from Brazil.
And he's also in the processof getting citizenship.
He's detained while sightseeing,
and he's in a detention centerin Arizona.
So a lot of questionsabout who's being detained
and how you can proveyou are a legal immigrant.
>>Meanwhile, the census administration
is rolling out plans to rapidlybuild
a detention facilitycalled Alligator
(10:37):
Alcatraz at the Miami-DadeCounty owned airstrip
in the Big CypressNational Preserve.
Here's part of a video put outby the Florida Attorney General.
>>People get out.
There'snot much waiting for them
other than alligatorsand pythons.
Nowhere to go,nowhere to hide within
just 30 to 60 daysafter we begin construction.
It could be up and running
(10:57):
and could house as manyas a thousand criminal aliens.
This is presentsa great opportunity
for the state of Florida
to work with Miami Dadeand Collier County's Alligator.
Alcatraz. We're ready to go.
>>James Uthmeier there.
In that video posted on X.
The state used emergency
powers, right, Joe,to seize that land. this week.
What more do we knowabout those Alligator
(11:18):
Alcatraz plans and potentially,
I think, a second sitein the north of the state. >>So
they're looking tohouse 1000, immigrants at,
Alligator
Alcatraz asthey call it, in tents, mostly.
I mean, there'll be someportable buildings and stuff,
but the people would be intents.
It makes you wonderwhat the conditions will be like
in the Everglades.
(11:39):
Famous for its mosquitoesand its heat.
The, the other site
that you're talking about
is at Camp Blanding,which is up near Jacksonville.
And that's a National Guard,training center. >>Yeah.
And we should note, of course,environmentalists are
pretty concerned as well
about the location
that in the Everglades.Democrats, of course, say
AlligatorAlcatraz is a land grab.
(12:00):
Orlando.
Congressman MaxwellFrost this week or the idea
a cruel spectacle.
Just last week,
he said he'd file a bill aimedat increasing
transparency and accountabilityat detention facilities.
>>Being undocumented inthis country is not a crime.
That's right, a civil offense.
No human deserves to be caged,brutalized,
or disappeared for it.
(12:21):
And no one is safein this country.
We've heard about U.S.
citizens
being wrongfully detainedunder Florida's extreme
immigrationenforcement policies,
and this is what's happeningacross this country.
It's a culture of fearand of chaos.
>>CongressmanFrost there, Massiel
let me come to you on this one.
What exactly is CongressmanFrost pushing for in this bill?
(12:43):
You've covered this.>>Yes.
I was actually thereat the press conference
when he introduced it,what they called
the Stop Unlawful Detentionand End Mistreatment Act.
He called it the SUDEM Act.
This means that they want to
see more accountabilityand transparency in those ICE
detention facilitiesand isolation centers.
They want to know
who is being detained,why the reasoning behind it,
(13:04):
and also to make surethat the prisons
and these centers as well
are releasing, some informationlike demographic ages, names,
because they're saying that
some of the familiesdo not have access to know
where their loved ones are.
So that's exactly what the bill
that he introducedis pushing for.
>>Well, let's, talk aboutsome of the detentions locally.
Advocacy groups
have have criticized those,particularly in Orange County.
(13:26):
But what have the mayor,
and the county commissionhad to say about them?
What we've seen, we've talked
about the ramped up numbersof detentions in our area.
What are the officials saying?
>>Well,the Orange County mayor is
reluctantly,I would say, complying
because I don't thinkhe has any choice.
So he doesn't see thathe has any choice but to comply.
One of the big concernsthat people raised
(13:47):
is, is the ideathat people are disappearing
into the Orange County jail,so they come in, could be on a,
a local charge orthey could have a traffic stop
right, and end upbeing detained, for ICE.
And in the process,they're booked.
And then all of a suddenthey disappear from the jail.
They're not.
(14:08):
What has happenedis they have been transferred
to ICE, detained ICE custodyat the jail, and the county
doesn't provide any informationabout them at that point.
So the families, the lawyers saythey're being disappeared.
It's part of the processthey're going through.
And you could sort of say OrangeCounty is kind of caught
in this situation.
But they also have, what's itcalled, Intergovernmental
(14:32):
Service agreement.
It goes back to the 80s, with, with ICE
or with the federal governmentso that they can actually house,
detainees
from all over the state,not not just out of this county.
And they're doing that.
>>Well,
part of that
concern at the county levelmight be
the economic consequences of,mass deportations in Florida.
(14:55):
Let's talka little bit more about that.
First of all, let's listento what Mark Krikorian
from the center for ImmigrationStudies told me in his pushback
to the assertion
that the policy could devastate
industriessuch as tourism and agriculture.
>>With regard to ag there'san unlimited ag worker program,
the H-2a program.
It's just that farmersdon't want to bother with it
because it involvespay requirements
(15:18):
and transportation and housingand what have you.
But moreand more of them are using it
and have been using it overa number of years.
Its uses exploded.
So for ag
the argument just doesn'tit doesn't hold water at all.
For other industries,
hospitality, meatpacking,what have you.
Yeah. It'snot going to be pleasant.
And if all illegal labordisappeared tomorrow
(15:40):
kind of in some magical way,that would really be disruptive.
It's not the way things work.
This is a process, not an event.
And as a process,the market will adjust.
>>Mark Krikorian there,
there have been conflictingmessages,
haven't there, Stephanie,out of the Trump administration
about the deportations ofworkers in certain industries,
(16:02):
what is the latest?We know on that?
>>Absolutely.
I mean, when we thinkback to the campaign, you know,
President Trump ran on massdeportation, mass deportation.
We saw that everywhere.
Now people are being removed.
And he's going backand saying on social media,
well,we don't want to hurt the farms.
We can't let the farms goout of business.
You know, he's
saying that on social media,but he's still allowing
(16:22):
workplace ratesto happen at farms,
also at hotels,also at restaurants.
You know, the USDA reports
that roughly half of farmworkershere in
the United States have lacklegal immigration status.
So President Trump is sayingby posting on social media,
we can't let the farms goout of business, that he's aware
of the contributionthat they make to America.
(16:43):
They make sure that we havefruits
and vegetables on the shelves.
They make sure the hotel workersthat our beds are cleaned.
When we come back to the room,
that we have a waiterat the restaurant.
But then the mass deportationefforts continue.
In the workplace, ratesare continued to be ramped up.
>>Do we know how vulnerable,Joe, Florida is to the idea
of massive deportationswhen it comes to the economy?
>>It looks like Floridais very vulnerable.
(17:03):
I mean,when you look at the industries,
that are so importantin Florida, Massiel was kind of
mentioning these earlier,
agriculture, hospitality,construction.
I mean,what can be more important
in Florida and Central Floridathan those industries?
And, undocumented workersmake up
a hefty percentageof those workers.
(17:25):
>>What have you been seeing,
Massiel, you've been coveringthis as well.
>>Absolutely,the same thing we've seen.
I've been able to speakwith some farm workers,
in different areasof Volusia County.
And they mentionedthey're scared.
They're seeing more peoplethat simply do not come to work.
They they're just in fear.
And, for the owners of this,for example, ferneries,
they're saying thatthey're losing their workforce.
(17:45):
They they don't know how theycan find more people to work.
And now the peoplethat they had,
they're not coming in to work.
>>Certainlythe fern business is a
big business in placeslike Pierson.
So we'll keep an eye on thisas we go forward.
Be sure to find uson social media.
Meanwhile, we're at WUCFTV, on Facebook and Instagram
and also findus on X at News Night WUCF.
(18:07):
Okay, next tonight,the Pulse Nightclub building
is set to be demolished laterthis year.
Recently, survivors
and the familiesof those who died in the mass
shooting got a chanceto look inside the building
for the first timesince the tragedy.
It comes
as the city of Orlando securesfunding and prepares final plans
for a permanent memorialat the site in SoDo.
Nine years on, the Pulse sitefor some is frozen in time.
(18:30):
Along with family membersand survivors,
journalists were recentlyallowed
to tour inside the building,but without taking photographs.
The City of Orlando purchasedthe site in 2023 for $2 million,
with a viewto finally completing
a permanent memorialto the 49 people who died there.
At the timethe worst mass shooting in U.S.
history, the city is selectinga contractor to develop a plan
(18:52):
based on a conceptual design
agreed to by the PulseMemorial Committee.
The current building is expected
to be demolishedlater this year, and it's
hoped a permanent memorialwill be completed by 2027.
Certainly,a lot of people anticipating
that a permanent memorialbeing put in place.
Joe, what was the reasonfor the walk of that site?
What was the thinkingbehind that?
(19:12):
>>Well, DonnaWyche talked about the reason
when she's the engagementcoordinator for, for the city,
she talked about the reasonfor it.
And basically the reasonis the families demanded it.
They needed it.
So they're goingto tear this building down.
They've never been in there.
They've never seen the placewhere their loved ones,
breathed their last breath.
(19:34):
And nowyou're going to destroy it.
So it was really,really important.
Donna Wyche describedit as not closure, right?
But a partof the journey of grief.
And forfor some of those people,
it was extremely important,very emotional and,
you know, just really gladthe city did that.
(19:56):
>>Well,I think all your outlets
have been talkingto people who made that tour.
What did you guyshear? Stephanie?
>>One of my managers,actually,
was what part of the mediathat was able to go in
and he kind of describewhat it was like for him.
He was there on scene
reportingthe night that it happened,
and he said it was very soberingto see,
you know,
the remnants of whatwas supposed to be
an amazing place
where people could gatherwithout judgment
(20:17):
and to know what happened there
and to be able to be with,you know, see the families
and see that,
as he mentioned, it'snot closure,
but it does help at least movethe process forward
and kind of try to accept thatthis is going to be no more.
Pulse will not exist anymore.
>>Well, what is next then?
In the process of demolishingthis building
(20:37):
and putting up a new, permanent,
permanent memorial,do we have a time frame there?
>>Well, we do, right nowwe know that the next step, now
that the visits have concluded,will be that there will be
the city
will be
demolishing the actual siteso they can make space for that,
permanent memorial to honorthe lives of the 49 people
who passed awaythat day in that shooting.
But we also know that the cityis now
collaborating with the countyas well.
(20:59):
Recently,Orange County announced
that they're going to be contributing to that.
So we're looking at
maybe end of 2027to see the permanent memorial.
>>How does that costlook? >>You know,
the city is estimating about $12
millionbetween design and construction.
And they said thatthey will put forth 7.5 million.
And then the Orange Countyis also collaborating.
They saidthey'll put up to 5 million,
which does give themsome wiggle wiggle room
(21:20):
if they are to go over that
essential,that initial $12 million mark.
But it will fall on the county,
on the city and,and the county now.
Not fall on them,
But they're willing to pay itto memorialize
the 49 peoplethat perished there.
>>You can find a link tothe memorial conceptual design
on our websiteat wucf.org/newsnight.
Okay.
(21:41):
Florida's black
bear population is once again atthe center of a heated debate.
The state's Fish and WildlifeConservation
Commission is moving forwardwith plans
for a regulated bearhunting season in December.
Supporterscall it population control.
Critics say it'sunnecessary and dangerous.
FWC says plans for a bear huntinclude
strict permit limitsand designated hunting zones.
(22:03):
Officialssay the goal is to manage bear
populations and reducehuman bear conflicts, promising
the hunt will be scientificallyguided and closely monitored.
But conservation groups arguethe data doesn't support
a hunt
pointing to stable bear numbers
and callingfor non-lethal solutions.
Instead, they fear
the move
could reverse years of progressin protecting the species.
(22:24):
The commission is expected
to finalize the rules laterthis year.
Okay, Joe, this is a storythat you've covered
a lot up there in Ocala.
What are the mainsort of ecological
and population managementarguments,
I guess, that are being used
to justify the reintroductionof a bear hunt?
>>Well,
one of the really interesting
commentsthat I heard from a FWC official
(22:47):
at the hearingin Ocala was basically that
bears are a game species.
In other words,you're supposed to hunt them
and they havea sustainable population
to where you could hunt themevery year.
I think for a lot of peoplethat shock you,
they don't think of bearsas a game species.
But that's apparently is how the
Fish and Wildlife ConservationCommission looked at them.
(23:08):
So I think, you know,you can see
it's for is for populationcontrol for the bears.
Okay.
And one of the interestingthings
is that the people in Floridamay not have really realized it,
but at this last election,they actually approved
that they votedfor the right to fish and hunt.
But in that amendment,it also says that hunting
is the preferredspecies management approach.
(23:32):
So, I find that interesting.
A lot of people wouldn'thave thought that.
One of the interesting pointsI wanted to point out
is that in Central Florida,
actually there are only 18 bearpermits this year.
So the other places that arewell over 100 total of 187.
But in Central Floridawe have so few because basically
bears are getting killedalready on the roads.
(23:54):
People are hitting bearson a regular basis.
>>Yeah that's true.
What's the timetablegoing going forward on this?
And what is sort of thethe plans in terms of
how this hunt will take placeand who gets a permit?
>>Right,
so this is happening in 23 daysin December, 187 bears.
You enter a lottery paying$5 to enter
a lotteryto get a permit to kill a bear.
(24:17):
It's different from 2015 whenbasically they opened the hunt
and over 300bears were killed in two days
and it was a messand people were outraged.
This is a much more controlledhunt. >>Yeah.
News six has been lookingat this issue as well, right?
I mean, the rebound
that we've seen in recent yearsand in the black bear numbers,
(24:38):
has been seen as a major victoryfor conservationists.
>>Absolutely.
It's estimated that right nowin Florida,
we have about 4000 black bears.
And if we go back to just
the 1970s,there was only several hundred.
So they've the population hasjust really grown since then.
>>So actuallyover the decades. >>Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
But you know, people
who are against this, bear huntjust kind of say that it's
(24:59):
a trophy hunt.
It's not really to mitigatepopulation.
It's just to hang a bear on your, for your wall.
There has beensome squeamishness,
hasn't there, Joe,about some of the rules,
being able to hunt at feedingstations and things like that.
There are some specificsof this bear hunt
that are causingconservationists
and animal rightspeople to be squeamish about it.
>>Yeah, absolutely.
(25:20):
You've got this very stronggroup of people pushing for
huntingand their hunting rights,
and you've got a group of peoplevery concerned
about the impact on the bearpopulation.
But, the feeding stationsissue is a big deal.
The, you know, you the bearcomes to the station there
and you can
the state likes itbecause they're saying,
well, you can pick the big bear.
(25:42):
You know, you can pick the largemale bear that you want
to hunt versus the female bearthat might get killed otherwise.
But that's that's controversial,that you're essentially
catching the bear when it'scoming into a vulnerable place.
Dogs hunting with dogsis not this year, but
in future years, you'll be ableto use dogs to hunt bears.
(26:02):
That's also very controversial.
>>Well,
it will be interesting
to see how the bear hunt playsout, of course, when
hunting begins in December.
But that is all the time we havefor this week.
