This Week in South Florida: Mario Diaz-Balart

Highly publicized raids took place last week on homes and businesses to arrest the undocumented and deportable.

President Donald Trump reversed an extension of Temporary Protected Status for 600,000 Venezuelans.

He signed the Laken Riley Act requiring that undocumented immigrants accused of most crimes stay in criminal detention and he reactive Guantanamo Bay as a detention camp that can hold 30,000 migrants.

The president began the week in South Florida, where house Republicans held their annual retreat at Trump’s Doral property, and began figuring out how to pay for the president’s priorities.

South Florida’s three Republican members of congress were there, and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart joined This Week in South Florida host Glenna Milberg to discuss. Their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.
