A 75-year-old Cuban man who arrived in the United States nearly six decades ago died Thursday after three weeks in immigration detention in Miami.

He's 5th person to die in ICE custody in Florida this year.

OK, so I saw that a number of swans were still floating along on the water at Lake Eola in Orlando this morning and had to ask: What exactly do the swans do during hurricanes?

According to a city spokesperson: It's the swans' call. https://t.co/nafHP9P1hC

New for @OrlandoWeekly: Orlando quietly “disassembled” its 32-year-old Citizens' Police Review Board last month, in order to comply with a new state preemption law.

The board was first developed in 1992 after a series of riots over police brutality. https://t.co/FHtAMTZkHu

A new anti-abortion pregnancy center run by a “pro-life, Christian” nonprofit has opened up in Kissimmee, Florida, near Orlando.

Their mission: to “CHANGE abortion in Orlando. Until there are ZERO.”
