MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Will the facility that will house undocumented children and teenagers in Miami-Dade County be a detention center or a prison? In an effort to disassociate from the former failures of the U.S. immigration detention system for minors, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Friday that it will be a shelter. “It’s a difficult choice.”Without providing any specific evidence, Sen. Marco Rubio said now it’s the Democrats who are putting kids in cages. Rep. Carlos Gimenez, the former mayor of Miami-Dade County, visited the facility next to the Homestead Air Reserve Base when HHS had entrusted a subsidiary of Caliburn International to manage it. “These are kids in a very difficult situation ... there were also some caseworkers trying to get them foster parents or sponsors.”Related stories

Under the Resilient305 initiative, former Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said in 2019 that they were renewing their commitment to dump sand on the beach to replace the eroding shoreline, protecting Biscayne Bay and other projects.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. and former Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez voted against a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office. Gimenez released a statement late Tuesday night, saying that Congress should instead be “holding thorough investigations into the insurrection on Capitol Hill by domestic terrorists.”“I cannot earnestly support a non-binding resolution that would have no effect in getting us closer to the truth or help heal our nation,” Gimenez said. The Democratic-controlled House will begin proceedings Wednesday to impeach Trump for the second time in 13 months, with just days left in his term, as lawmakers seek to quickly punish him over last week’s deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol. A Capitol police officer died from injuries suffered in the riot, and police shot and killed a woman during the siege. Three other people died in what authorities said were medical emergencies.

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – This week’s chaos at The Capitol is under layers of investigation. 147 members of Congress, all Republicans, voted to reject electors in Arizona and Pennsylvania, which would effectively have disenfranchised millions of voters. Among those voting to decertify were Florida Senator Rick Scott and Miami Congressmen Mario Diaz-Balart and Carlos Gimenez. Only Gimenez accepted Local 10′s invitation to join This Week in South Florida, but he cancelled the morning of the show citing a medical emergency. Rep.

That attack changed some minds and changed how some members of Congress voted to reject or keep the electors from contested states on Wednesday. It’s not going to change the outcome but it’s going to send a message and it’s going to make a point. Voting to reject the electors was newly sworn-in Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez of Miami. He said in a statement: “I have become convinced that the electors in some states were selected in an unconstitutional manner. I simply cannot vote to upload a slate of electors under those circumstances.”CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this story mistakenly suggested that Sen. Marco Rubio indicated which way he would vote on electors before the vote.
