NEW IMMIGRATION POLICIES FORCE DANCERS OFF STAGE AT SOUTH BEACH'S MANGO'S CAFE

New immigration policies, including the termination of a humanitarian parole program, are severely impacting businesses in Miami Beach, as exemplified by Mango's Tropical Cafe. The iconic South Beach club has lost about 10% of its staff, including a Cuban dancer named Eduardo, due to revoked work authorizations. This follows a Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for the Department of Homeland Security to cancel work permits for thousands of immigrants. Businesses like Mango's face immediate staffing shortages and compliance challenges, while affected employees and their families confront sudden income loss. The situation has prompted local officials to condemn anti-immigrant rhetoric, highlighting the broader economic and social consequences for the community.
