What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Jay Collins and Ron DeSantis reaffirmed support for state immigration policies impacting South Florida. Reports indicate that federal immigration policies, supported by Ron DeSantis, have caused a dramatic drop in foreign-born students enrolling in Miami-Dade public schools. The district's budget for the 2026-27 school year is approximately $7.4 billion, which is about $100 million less than the previous year.

The decrease in immigrant families moving to the area has led to financial strain on Miami-Dade County schools. Last year, a mid-year cut of $89 million was implemented due to the loss of foreign students, resulting in an estimated $70 million impact.
