MIAMI - President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that his administration plans to send thousands of undocumented immigrants to detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a move that has drawn sharp reactions from South Florida officials and immigration advocates.

The Miami Herald has heard from Miamians, advocates and lawyers who are watching closely to see how Trump’s policy directives will impact their lives and communities. In an effort to reach as many readers as possible, the Herald is asking South Floridians to share their experiences and concerns about the new administration’s executive orders.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to veto an immigration bill on Wednesday in the latest escalation of a statehouse showdown with Republican legislative leaders over whose proposals would best carry out President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
