- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services advised Venezuelan TPS holders to prepare to return if they have no lawful basis to remain.
- In Doral, business owners report fewer customers and staff cuts as employees lose work authorization and cannot renew permits.
- Local indicators show strain with unusual housing vacancies and falling rents, 14,000 fewer migrant students in Miami-Dade public schools this year, and pet surrenders nearly doubling at the county shelter.
