Daniella Levine Cava established a county office to assist permanent visa holders with U.S. citizenship when she was a Miami-Dade commissioner. Currently serving as mayor, she proposes to eliminate this office as Miami-Dade confronts a significant $402 million deficit in its $3.6 billion budget. This budget, which funds police, jails, parks, and other essential services, is heavily reliant on property taxes. In response to the financial shortfall, plans for the 2026 budget include spending cuts, layoffs, and increasing fees across various departments.
