AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Immigration Enforcement: An AP investigation says the Trump administration has re-separated dozens of children from parents for a second time, despite a legal settlement meant to prevent it—one Florida case involves an 11-year-old who was separated at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018 and again last year. Property Taxes: Florida lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment to raise the homestead exemption (from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027, then $250,000), sending the measure to voters in November; local leaders warn it could gut funding for services like public safety, schools, parks, and infrastructure. Local Government Impact: St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch says the proposal could strip $78 million from the city and force widespread cuts. Higher Education: UF presidential finalist Stuart Bell met with students and staff as the search nears a board interview, facing scrutiny over DEI. Emergency Management: A new Florida Incident Management Teams Foundation launched at the statewide emergency management symposium to boost workforce development and disaster response readiness. College Sports Policy: Nick Saban urged Congress to pass legislation to rein in NIL-driven “arms races,” arguing NIL isn’t the same as pay-for-play. Everglades Cleanup: Florida appears to be missing deadlines for Everglades pollution cleanup tied to stormwater treatment areas. Cuba Policy: Marco Rubio said Cuba has “technocrats” who could negotiate governance changes, while the U.S. continues pressure tied to sanctions and legal actions. ICE Training: DHS says ICE recruit training will return to “regular standards” starting July 1. Agriculture Biosecurity: USDA confirmed the first U.S. New World screwworm case since 1966 in South Texas, triggering quarantines and an incident response. Florida Politics & Courts: A Florida ballot fight is shaping up around property-tax language and timing, with election officials saying they’re still waiting for final wording.
