What Trump's executive orders mean for South Florida

• He also terminated a parole program that created a pathway for legal entry for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Why it matters: The orders will have an outsized impact on the state's immigrant-heavy population.

• More than one in five Florida residents is foreign-born, and nearly 10% of U.S.-born residents live with at least one immigrant parent, according to the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group and Washington think tank.
• In 2022, Florida had the third-largest population of undocumented immigrants, the Miami Herald reported, citing the Department of Homeland Security data.

Between the lines: Biden's reversal of sanctions on Cuba drew bipartisan backlash in Florida, where anti-socialist rhetoric has helped Republicans win over Hispanics and cement GOP dominance.

Many of Trump's executive orders, including his efforts to end birthright citizenship, are already facing legal challenges.

• Birthright citizenship has been recognized since 1898 following the landmark Wong Kim Ark case, Axios' Russell Contreras writes.

• The case established the birthright citizenship clause and led to the dramatic demographic transformation of the U.S.

Threat level: Trump's order would impact future births. It does not revoke citizenship for those already born in the U.S.

The big picture: Trump's orders come days before the Florida legislature is set to meet for a special session related to immigration.

• DeSantis has vowed that Florida would support Trump's deportation programs and threatened to punish sheriffs or state attorneys who refuse to enforce federal immigration law.
