78% of Florida immigration court cases ended in deportation orders in June, data says

Summary by The Miami Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by CBS Miami Team, CBS4 Miami · July 23, 2026 · 2 min read

Since March, deportations ordered by immigration judges in Florida have increased 18 percent, according to recently released data.In June, judges issued 5,415 removal orders, a 17.6 percent increase compared to March's 4,605 removal orders, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse

Why this matters in The Miami

The significant increase in deportation orders in Florida has notable implications for the state's large Latin American and Caribbean communities. With 78% of immigration court cases resulting in deportation orders, many families in neighborhoods like Little Havana and Wynwood may be affected. The fact that Guatemalans received the most removal orders in Florida, followed by Venezuelans, Hondurans, and Cubans, suggests that these communities may be disproportionately impacted. Furthermore, the presence of immigration detention facilities in the state, including the one in Baker County, means that many of these individuals may be detained locally before being deported. As the situation continues to unfold, it will be important to consider the potential social and economic effects on these communities, as well as the broader implications for Miami's cultural and economic landscape. The city's role as a hub for Latin American and Caribbean communities makes it a critical location for understanding the local impact of national immigration policies.
