Cuban American billionaire Mike Fernández has issued a strong letter to Republican leaders in Miami, urging them to rise against President Trump’s harsh immigration policies. He emphasizes the betrayal felt by the immigrant community due to the silence of their representatives during this time. Fernández shares his personal history of fleeing tyranny, urging leaders to recognize the current threat from Trump as a direct assault on the values they once protected. He labels their silence as complicity and plans to rally others to raise their voices and demand change.
In the face of all of this, the silence from our own leaders - the sons and daughters of exiles - has become deafening. That silence is not neutrality, nor ignorance, it is complicity and cowardice.
I know what it means to flee tyranny. Like you, I carry that history in my bones and that pain in my heart.
