    One things for sure Floridians aren’t gonna be ‘chilling’ in the pools that aren’t getting built because they kicked their workforce out of the state AYOOOOOOOO

    • I’d be more worried about their roofs after hurricane season this year. Getting repairs after a hurricane has always been awful, my house had blue tarps for six months after Charlie Francis and Jeanne and we were lucky because we had the money on hand to pay and didn’t have to wait for insurance to pay out.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump will this week decide whether to reinforce his ban on a key part of Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s “callous” anti-immigration law after handing the extremist Republican a humiliating courtroom defeat last month.

    The Miami district court judge Roy Altman has invited written arguments from both sides after ruling that the “human smuggling” clause of a sweeping immigration bill DeSantis signed into law last year exceeded the state’s authority.

    About a dozen people were arrested after the law took effect on 1 July last year, including Raquel López Aguilar, a 41-year-old from Mexico, who was stopped by an FHP officer last August while driving a minivan containing immigrant roofers.

    Altman, a Venezuelan-born member of the Federalist Society who was nominated to the federal bench by Trump in 2018, will revisit his preliminary ruling later this week after issuing a secondary decision, with a 6 June deadline, for parties to offer comment on its scope.

    “I think the court agreed with us that a statewide injunction makes sense at the preliminary level, and that’s of course what we’ll argue for at trial,” said Paul Chávez, senior supervising attorney for the SPLC’s immigrant justice project.

    Last month, another Trump-appointed district court judge, William Jung, dismissed the state’s challenge to a new federal law blocking it from booting children from lower-income households from a popular health insurance program.
