» Orange County pledged $29 million in bid to host WrestleMania and Jacksonville Jaguars
Orange County commissioners pledged $29.46 million in tourist development tax funds last week for the return of WrestleMania to Orlando in 2031 and the chance to host Jacksonville Jaguars games in 2027. The money would be paid out only if Orlando secures the deals. Sports entertainment company TKO Group Holdings (owner of both World Wrestling Entertainment and the Ultimate Fighting Championship) is in talks with several cities bidding to host the pro wrestling event, while the Jacksonville football stadium preps to undergo a $1.4 billion renovation. President and CEO of the Greater Orlando Sports Commission Jason Siegal said the city is looking to bring both WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble to Orlando. Siegal estimated the events would draw fans from across the U.S. and the world, and could generate more than $225 million for the county (compared to the $18 million bid fee required by TKO). As for the Jags, commissioners agreed to pledge up to $11 million to persuade the NFL to pick Camping World Stadium to host 2027 season games before Jacksonville’s EverBank Stadium renovations are completed. Commissioner Kelly Semrad ultimately cast the sole “no” vote after expressing concern that the Jaguars would not attract enough out-of-town and overnight fans to warrant the investment.
» Orlando disability, senior advocates slammed Trump administration’s threats to Social Security
A group of labor, disability and seniors advocates gathered across the street from downtown Orlando’s Social Security Administration office last Friday to protest the Trump administration’s threats to social security benefits. The rally was organized by U.S. Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL), who slammed “spineless” Republican politicians who have gone along with President Trump’s policy agenda, including his Department of Government Efficiency initiative that aims to downsize the federal government. While President Donald Trump has reportedly promised not to cut Social Security benefits for the 73 million people already enrolled in the program, the administration has, at the same time, moved to cut the Social Security Administration’s staff and threatened to shutter dozens of Social Security offices nationwide. According to Frost, more than 113,000 people in his Orlando congressional district rely on Social Security benefits, including more than 80,000 retirees, nearly 6,000 widows and nearly 15,000 workers with disabilities. Cuts to staff have already restricted access to SSA services, advocates say, due to longer wait times for help and website crashes reported by the Washington Post.
» Florida House halted Hope Florida probe for rest of session
After weeks of investigation, a state House leader said last Thursday his panel is halting a probe into the Hope Florida Foundation, linked to First Lady Casey DeSantis’ signature economic-assistance program, Hope Florida. Rep. Alex Andrade, a Pensacola Republican who chairs the House Health Care Budget Subcommittee, announced the decision after the Hope Florida Foundation’s lawyer, Jeff Aaron, and leaders of nonprofits that received $5 million grants from the foundation refused to appear before the panel. Andrade has spent weeks scrutinizing the foundation’s receipt of $10 million as part of a $67 million legal settlement that Centene, Florida’s largest Medicaid managed-care company, reached last fall with the Agency for Health Care Administration. After receiving the money from the settlement, the foundation gave $5 million grants to two nonprofits. Those groups within days made contributions to Keep Florida Clean, a political committee headed by James Uthmeier, who was then Ron DeSantis’ chief of staff and is now state attorney general. Keep Florida Clean fought a proposed constitutional amendment in November that would have allowed recreational use of marijuana. Andrade said he’s “firmly convinced” that Uthmeier and the Hope Florida Foundation’s attorney Jeff Aaron engaged in a conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud, but said, “We as legislators will not be the ones making the ultimate charging decisions.” He later told reporters he has had “discussions” with the U.S. Department of Justice about the transactions.
» Orlando attorney caught up in DeSantis’ Hope Florida fiasco is on the state payroll
Jeff Aaron, an Orlando-based lawyer with the firm DownsAaron, found himself in the hot seat in the last week or so for legal advice he provided to the Hope Florida Foundation. The organization is currently facing scrutiny over alleged misuse of public money. Aaron, an attorney often referred
to as Gov. Ron DeSantis’“right-hand man,” according to the Orlando Business Journal, has been offering his legal services to the Hope Florida Foundation since October. He has described the latest fiasco to the Orlando Sentinel as a “politically motivated witch hunt.” Aaron, however, isn’t just a private-sector lawyer. He also has a history representing Gov. DeSantis and public sector employers in legal disputes, while simultaneously weighing in on alleged violations of labor law committed by public employers as a public official. Aaron serves as one of two part-time commissioners (both appointed by DeSantis) for Florida’s Public Employees Relations Commission, a small state agency tasked with enforcing public sector labor law. The job earns him total compensation of roughly $78,000 annually from the state.
» Democratic Senate leader Jason Pizzo switched to NPA and called FL Dems ‘dead’
The superminority status of the Florida Democratic Party in the state Legislature got smaller last Thursday when Democratic Senate Leader Jason Pizzo stunningly announced that he was leaving the party and would become a political independent. Democrats already had just 11 members in the 40-member chamber, after Orange County Sen. Geraldine Thompson died just weeks before this year’s legislative session began. “The Democratic Party in Florida is dead,” he said while speaking on the floor of the Senate, following the conclusion of the chamber’s business for the day. “But there are good people that can resuscitate it, but they don’t want it to be me.” Pizzo has had a reputation as a centrist Democrat since his election to the Senate in 2018, and at times has angered the more liberal wing of the party. He’s also one of the wealthiest members of the Legislature, with an estimated worth of $59 million. Whether this pertains to his rumored plan to run for governor is unknown. He has previously said he was considering the possibility, although he said in January that he would not run as a political independent.

Calls for a trigger resolution that would cancel Orange County’s ICE agreement (when and if it’s legal to do so) got shut down last week
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and the bulk of the board of county commissioners last Tuesday shut down a call from community members and Commissioner Kelly Semrad to draft a trigger resolution that would cancel the county’s agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement when and if it is no longer legally required.
Under a new state immigration law, all operators of county jails are required to enter into what are known as 287(g) agreements with ICE, the federal immigration enforcement agency. City governments that don’t operate any sort
of jail or detention facility are not, and the city of Orlando got flak for doing so anyway. (At the same time, Florida AG James Uthmeier threatened to remove Dyer from office after Dyer said that the Orlando Police Department would not be “proactive” in immigration enforcement.)
A coalition of immigrant rights, labor and social advocacy groups in Central Florida have organized efforts to ensure due process for immigrants in the community who are detained by ICE and held in the Orange County jail system.
Advocates called on Orange County leaders last week to, at the very least, ensure detainees
them to be treated in a lawful manner. These are circumstances that have occurred that certainly [were] out of our control, and we’re not in a position at this point to say that we’re not going to follow the law.”
County leaders, including Demings — former OPD chief and Orange County sheriff — have argued their hands are tied by state and federal law. The Trump administration has swiftly unrolled efforts to follow through with President Trump’s campaign promise of the “largest deportation operation in American history” following his reentry to the White House in January.
Just two of the six Orange County commissioners last month — Semrad and Nicole Wilson — voted against entering into the 287(g) agreement with ICE. Under that agreement, ICE agents and other authorized law enforcement officers are permitted to detain immigrants they accuse of being in the county illegally in the county jail.
Prior to a February 2025 memorandum of agreement announced by Gov. Ron DeSantis between ICE and the state, entering into the 287(g) was voluntary. Now it’s not.
Orange County corrections chief Louis Quinones Jr. confirmed to county leaders last Tuesday afternoon that the current number of immigrants detained in jail by ICE is the “highest we have seen in quite some time.”
The Orange County Jail was holding 216 people detained by ICE as of that morning, Quinones shared. Most — 180 people — were detained after being picked up by ICE on local criminal charges. But three dozen were detained outside Orange County — in Osceola or Seminole — on no criminal charges other than an accusation that they were in the country illegally and brought to the Orange County Jail. Quinones said they expected to receive at least 20 new detainees each day for at least the next five days.
have access to “know your rights” information and legal resources in their language. They also asked the county to draft a resolution that would trigger the cancellation of the county jail’s agreement with ICE if they are no longer required to under state law or the law is determined unconstitutional.
“We do recognize that your hands are tied to a certain extent,” said Sophia Glover, with Florida Rising, advocating as part of the Immigrants Are Welcome Here coalition, made up of 30 local advocacy groups. “We’re not asking you to do anything that’s not within your power to do,” she affirmed.
A motion from county commissioner Kelly Semrad that afternoon to have staff look into drafting up a trigger resolution ended up abandoned, after a contentious back-and-forth on the dais over what exactly Semrad was asking of them.
“I’m uncomfortable with having to vote on something brought up from the floor unless I have time to research it,” said commissioner Christine Moore, visibly panicked.
“I think it’s premature to be adopting resolutions,” Demings agreed. “We want people to be treated with dignity and respect. We want
“Yesterday alone, they brought in 20 inmates that had no local charges, and we are projecting to get 20 for the next five days,” he said.
Several county commissioners were alarmed by this, citing in part fiscal concerns. Quinones confirmed it costs the county $145 per day to detain one person under ICE, and the federal agency itself only reimburses the county for $88 for each person.
“They have essentially commandeered a certain number of our staff members, and we have, whether it’s a dozen, two dozen, three dozen, four dozen individuals. We don’t know [if] they did anything wrong, other than potentially not have the right papers with them … currently sitting in our prison?” asked Wilson.
“Yes,” Quinones confirmed, shortly. “ICE is bringing those individuals to us and we’re holding them,” he continued. “We don’t know what they’ve done that would afford ICE that opportunity to bring them to us. We’re just housing them overnight, is what we’re doing, until they go to another facility.”
Quinones added that the county is currently in negotiations with ICE to increase their

reimbursement rate for people detained in the local jail.
No clear answer was provided for why people from other parts of Central Florida are being shepherded to Orange County for temporary detention.
Access to resources
Ensuring due process and access to legal resources for people detained by ICE was a key ask of advocates who showed up to the board of county commissioner’s meeting last week.
Several brought up concerns about data transparency — sharing that families are currently struggling to even find out if their loved one has been detained by ICE, and if they have, where they’re sent afterward upon their release or transfer.
“Speaking on behalf of a sister-in-law of someone deported for not having a driver’s license, my brother-in-law was transferred so quickly, we didn’t know where he had gone,” said Salvadore Rosas, a youth organizer for the Hope CommUnity Center in Apopka. “He didn’t remember his mother’s phone number, so he couldn’t call for family.”
Chief Quinones said that, at least in Orange County, those detained should be provided access to their own phones as needed in order to retrieve a phone number they don’t remember. Still, the county is limited in what information it can provide loved ones who call the jail, due to privacy regulations under federal law.
“I can only give you a response from the correctional side, and what we are doing is we’re providing these individuals that come into our custody with access to telephones to call their loved ones, to text message their loved ones and … they have access to a flyer that lets them know what their rights are,” Quinones explained. “So from a detention facility standpoint, I believe we’re doing as much as we can.”
Several county commissioners — including commissioners Wilson, Semrad, Mayra Uribe and Michael Scott — urged the county corrections department to ensure rights flyers are available in a variety of languages.
Several also brought up creating a list of legal resources, or other local nonprofit immigrant rights organizations, that corrections staff could also provide to those detained.
“Do we not have a mechanism to at least empower these people with knowledge of what’s going on?” asked Uribe.
The answer was less than reassuring.
“To be totally honest with you, there are some of our staff that are not aware of the federal process,” admitted Chief Quinones. “We’re putting our staff in a touchy situation when we’re not familiar with what happens with the federal process.”
Demings similarly emphasized the need to ensure any information provided to those being detained on account of their legal status “comports to federal law.”
‘People are being disappeared every single day’
Demings admitted that, based on information provided by Quinones, it appears that ICE “is very active” in Central Florida — a statement Quinones didn’t deny.
According to the corrections chief, Orange County sheriff’s deputies aren’t going out and arresting people they suspect of being undocumented to be placed in ICE custody.
Those detained in the jail, accused of being in the country illegally, are being brought into the jail by federal ICE agents, the Florida Highway Patrol or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
For many, the raids — or mere fear of being targeted by federal agents — hits close to home.
According to federal census data, roughly one-quarter of Orange County’s population is foreign-born. That includes many locals who are contributing to the state economy by working in the region’s hospitality, tourism, construction and agricultural industries.
During the public comment period, Felipe Sousa-Lazaballet, executive director of Hope CommUnity Center and candidate for the Florida House, shared the story of one local woman who “lost her children” because her husband was detained by ICE. “This is happening in our community,” said Sousa-Lazaballet.“People are being disappeared every single day.”
At least two men from Venezuela who entered the U.S. with permission — 32-year-old Ricardo Prada Vásquez and 27-year-old Neiyerver Adrian Leon Rengel — appear to have disappeared after being detained by immigration authorities, according to reporting from the New York Times and Miami Herald. Their families, unaware of their whereabouts, are demanding answers.
“Give every detainee a fact sheet in their language with their rights, the number of public defender’s office, and a list of legal resources,” Sousa-Lazaballet urged. “It’s a small step, but it could save someone’s life.”
Salvatore Vieira, with Equality Florida, brought up concerns about LGBTQ+ immigrants in particular who may have fled countries that are hostile to LGBTQ+ people.
“LGBTQ+ immigrants seeking asylum have consistently encountered barriers to having their cases fairly evaluated, often facing deportation to countries where their lives are threatened,” Vieira said. “Today, you have the freedom to take bold actions to guarantee due process to those detained.”
No formal action was taken by the Orange County board of commissioners during the meeting, despite efforts by Semrad (and Wilson, who initially supported looking into drafting a trigger resolution).
After a nearly two-hour work session on the issue, featuring a presentation from the corrections department and discussion, Demings stated simply,“We’ve heard enough on this issue.”
“We’re gonna move to the [next] agenda item at this point, OK? Took a lot of time there.”

SHANE ABBOTT DOUBLES DOWN
The Florida Republican continues to claim that the state has its own OSHA; maybe he needs a copy of the Florida Statutes that’s less than 25 years old
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Florida Rep. Shane Abbott, R-DeFuniak Springs, once again made the false statement that Florida has a state Occupational Safety and Health Administration agency, in defense of a bill that opponents say would gut over a dozen worker protections for temporary employees if passed.
In fact, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush repealed Florida’s state OSHA statutes — the ones cited by Rep. Shane Abbott last Tuesday — 25 years ago, thereby dismantling a state division of safety that had formerly been housed within a state labor department. Bush abolished that department entirely just a couple of years later.
Abbott, in explaining his bill (HB 6033) to the Florida House Commerce Committee, claimed that Florida has a state OSHA agency under Florida Statutes 442.001 — statutes that no longer exist today, as a result of Bush’s 25-year-old executive order.
Florida’s old worker safety division was modeled after the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency that regulates and enforces workplace safety and health standards to protect working people on the job and the families they go home to at night.
In fact, Florida lawmakers participated in a special legislative session just a few years ago in 2021 where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis championed an effort to create a state OSHA agency — only because he falsely believed that doing so would allow the state to avoid complying with federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates from the Biden administration’s federal OSHA. Under federal rules, state OSHAs cannot be less restrictive than the federal version, a former OSHA official confirmed to Orlando Weekly, and a state OSHA in Florida would not have been exempt from federal oversight.
The Florida Legislature, dominated by Republicans, approved DeSantis’ plan directing the state to come up with a way to create a state OSHA. But that plan never materialized, and the plan was consequently abandoned.
“There is no state OSHA,” Florida AFL-CIO director of politics and public policy Rich
WHAT WOULD ABBOTT’S BILL DO?
Abbott’s bill, HB 6033, seeks to repeal Florida’s Labor Pool Act, a law passed by the Florida Legislature in 1995 to enhance rights and protections for temporary and day laborers.
Under Florida’s Labor Pool Act, day laborers are defined as “temporary labor or employment that is occasional or irregular for which the worker is employed for not longer than the time period required to complete the temporary assignment for which the individual worker was hired.”
According to Beyond the Bars, a worker justice organization in South Florida that advocates for workers who’ve done time, there are nearly 1 million temp workers in Florida who take day jobs in construction, transportation, warehousing and other industries with a low bar to entry.
now-defunct Tampa Tribune, and supported by legal aid lawyers, religious groups, homeless advocates and others.
One lawyer described current working conditions for temp workers at the time as exploitative.
“It’s a vicious cycle,” Arthur Rosenberg, then a lawyer for a Miami-area legal aid group, told the Tribune. “They’re exploited because they need jobs desperately. That’s what happens in sweatshops. When you’re at the bottom level, there’s no place else to go.”
Meanwhile, a representative for a Tampa staffing agency told the Tribune bluntly, “I think it stinks.”
WHAT IS ABBOTT’S DEFENSE?
Templin confirmed, during public testimony on Rep. Abbott’s bill. Instead, Florida falls under federal oversight only. And because federal OSHA only covers private sector workplaces, public employees are protected only according to whatever safety standards their employer or municipality has independently mandated for themselves.
According to the AFL-CIO, a federation of labor unions, worker protection agencies like federal OSHA have been flat-funded for years. As of 2023, there were 1,875 inspectors nationwide to inspect 11.5 million workplaces under OSHA jurisdiction. That’s one inspector for about every 80,014 workers. The AFLCIO estimates that this level of staffing leaves the U.S. with only enough inspectors to inspect every workplace covered by OSHA once every 186 years.
Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, challenged Abbott on his claim about Florida’s OSHA agency, pointing out that even ChatGPT, powered by artificial intelligence, states that Florida doesn’t have a state OSHA.
Florida’s Labor Pool Act currently offers several labor protections for temp workers that aren’t covered by any other state or federal law — including pay stub transparency from staffing agencies (i.e., an itemized statement showing in detail each wage deduction on workers’ paychecks), and the right not to be charged more than a “reasonable amount” for transportation to a job site from a labor hall (no more than $1.50 each way).
Staffing agencies under the law are also required to provide temp workers with access to restrooms and seating in a labor hall, in the event they are forced to wait hours at a labor hall for a job for the day.
“Us working Floridians are not to be used and abused. We deserve to know what’s being taken from our pay, to have temp-to-permanent opportunities, and to have chairs to sit on,” said Davonte, a temp worker and member of Beyond the Bars, speaking to senators on the Senate Fiscal Policy committee last week. “This is the bare minimum, and please don’t take that away from us.”
Abbott says the law protecting workers — the law that his bill would repeal — is unnecessary because the state has a worker safety division. It does not, and has not since 2002.
“The reality is that without a [Department of Labor] and now without these basic protections, we’re continuously just squeezing the most vulnerable and their ability to have an honest job, honest work and honest pay,” said Eskamani.
Abbott’s bill nonetheless cleared the House Committee with majority support, and will now head to the full Florida House for a vote.
Karen Woodall, with the Florida Center for Fiscal & Economic Policy, told House lawmakers last Tuesday that she was there when the Labor Pool Act was passed, “and it was passed for a reason.”
“There were thousands of workers utilizing services of labor halls, labor pools, and there were problems, and there were issues that were not covered by federal law,” she recalled.
Florida’s Labor Pool Act of 1995 was Republican-sponsored, according to the
Abbott argues that the Labor Pool Act is “duplicative” and unnecessary.
“The fact of the matter is that these laws are duplicate of other federal and state laws,” said Abbott, explaining his bill. “The industry is already highly regulated, both federally and by other state wage and employer regulations.”
As Orlando Weekly has previously reported, Florida does not have a state agency dedicated to enforcing workplace safety and health standards, nor Florida’s minimum wage requirements, leaving low-wage workers especially vulnerable to wage theft.
Abbott also pointed out that there is no state agency to enforce Florida’s Labor Pool Act, since Florida no longer has a state department of labor or any other agency that’s taken up enforcement of the law.
Maya Ragsdale, founder and co-executive director of Beyond the Bars, confirmed to Orlando Weekly this is true, but pointed out that workers can still take private legal action — and have done so in the past.
In fact, one of the only public supporters of Abbott’s bill, Pacesetters Personnel Services, has itself been sued over alleged violations of the Florida Labor Pool Act. A lobbyist for the staffing agency waived in support of the bill last week.
“One of the arguments used in favor of this bill is that the cause of action isn’t used often enough, but that doesn’t mean the law isn’t working. It just means we need more enforcement,” argued Jackson Oberlink, legislative director of the progressive advocacy group Florida for All.
“That’s like saying the fire department isn’t coming, so we might as well burn the whole house down,” Oberlink added. “The logic just doesn’t hold.”
WHAT’S NEXT?
Abbott’s bill will need to get a majority vote of support from both the Florida House and Senate to pass. Then, if that happens, it would go to the governor’s desk for final approval — or a veto.

TRUST, BUT …
Two Central Florida Democrats joined Republicans in support of a bill expanding E-Verify mandate — still, the bill is unlikely to pass
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Two Democratic state representatives from Central Florida — State Rep. Leonard Spencer, D-Gotha, and Rep. Jose Alvarez, D-Kissimmee — joined Republicans in the Florida House last week in approving a controversial bill that would require all private employers in Florida to use the federal E-Verify system to check employees’ immigration status during the hiring process.
Currently, Florida law has a carve-out for businesses with 25 employees or fewer, initially put in place in 2021 to appease the small business community.
All votes in opposition to the bill came from Democrats. As the Florida Phoenix reports, however, similar legislation filed in the Florida Senate by (at the time) Democrat Jason Pizzo and Republican Blaise Ingoglia has failed to advance, making the proposal unlikely to pass both chambers before the scheduled end of Florida’s legislative session on May 2.
Alvarez’s office did not return a request for comment from Orlando Weekly in time for publication. Spencer, in an emailed statement, framed his vote as protective of immigrant workers, not antagonistic.
“I believe that Florida’s economy should be built on a foundation of fair, lawful, and transparent work. A system where people are compensated properly, labor standards are clear, and no one is forced into the shadows just to make a living,” Spencer told Orlando Weekly in a statement.
“At the same time, we have to be honest about a larger truth: We need real immigration reform,” he added.“Without it, too many people are left vulnerable and working in the shadows, afraid to speak up, and easy to exploit. That’s not who we are as Floridians.”
Both men were endorsed for office last year by the Florida For All coalition, made up of the Florida Immigrant Coalition (which opposed the bill) and five other social and economic justice groups.
‘I CANNOT TURN MY BACK’
Florida lawmakers first mandated that public employers, their contractors, and subcontractors use the federal E-Verify system in 2021, then followed up with a bill expanding that to all private employers with 25 employees or more a couple of years later. The election of President Donald Trump, and his administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants, however, has emboldened some Florida lawmakers to take the state’s own immigration policies further.
According to Bloomberg News, lawmakers in more than a dozen states this year have considered legislation to either require use of the federal E-Verify system or expand existing E-Verify requirements.
Industry groups have historically opposed E-Verify mandates, according to Bloomberg News, with mandates disproportionately affecting industries that employ a greater number of immigrant and undocumented workers, such as hospitality, construction and agriculture. “I personally have received several complaints regarding the fact that it’s cumbersome and it’s taking them a lot of time and they need additional resources,” said Rep. Marie Woodson, referring to Florida employers broadly.
Rep. Jacques, a Haitian immigrant himself, however, was unsympathetic to concerns. “This does not attack immigrant workers,” he contended.“It attacks workers that are not authorized to work within the state.”
Woodson, also from Haiti, rebuked his differentiation.“As sons and daughters of immigrants, and as an immigrant myself, I cannot turn my back on my immigrant community,” she shared. “We know that immigration is an issue, but we also know that we have so many families, so many people who have kids in this country who came to this country because they were fleeing persecution, violence and everything else. They have been here for years, and they have children. As a mother of two children, I cannot, in good conscience, not see what they are going through.”
TURBULENT TIMES
The Florida E-Verify bill comes as the Trump administration executes sweeping deportation efforts across the United States, targeting undocumented people, as well as student activists. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who unsuccessfully ran against Trump for president, has also taken action to ensure cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts, despite outcry from immigrant and human rights groups.
One young man recently arrested in Florida by state troopers, and detained under a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold, was a U.S. citizen.
“We’re going to see in this state a dramatic shift of hard-working immigrants who came to this country, following the rules, now be told that they have to leave or face some sort of mass detention, deportation,” said Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando.
“And under this banner, we’re basically taking a population of hard-working people and rejecting them purely based on what the federal government defines as an unregulated status. And I think that’s dangerous, bad for our economy, [and] does not make any one of us more safe.”
The bill, sponsored by Republican Reps. Berney Jacques of Seminole, was passed by the Florida House in a 88-25 vote, with seven Democrats joining Republicans in support.
Many Democrats, as well as groups like the Florida Immigrant Coalition and American Civil Liberties Union, have opposed the new bill (HB 955), arguing it will unduly burden small businesses that are struggling to recruit labor as it is, and send a harmful message to immigrant communities.
Currently, in Florida, the use of E-Verify by small businesses with fewer than 25 employees is voluntary. All employers, under federal law, are already required to collect identity and residency documents to fill out an I-9 form. E-Verify serves as a second verification step — one that critics say has a high error rate and opens business owners up to Department of Justice investigations for noncompliance.
“According to the government’s own statistics, E-Verify has a 20 percent error rate on baseline,” said North Miami-Dade Democrat Dotie Joseph, speaking on the House floor. “Another reason employers do not choose to use E-Verify is that it is bad for business,” she added. “It exposes them to potential investigation from the Department of Justice, and that carries a fine of $2,000 per worker.”
Trump himself has flip-flopped on mandating E-Verify use by employers. Less than 20 percent of U.S. employers use it already. According to Fortune magazine, the Trump administration introduced but later “quietly dropped” language in budget proposals that would have required mandatory nationwide E-Verify use. It hasn’t been pitched by Trump again since he returned to office.
WHAT’S NEXT?
The Florida House approved Jacques’ E-Verify bill last week. Both chambers of the Florida Legislature, however, need to approve legislation in order for it to pass and head to the Governor’s desk. The Senate has shown little interest in taking up similar proposals introduced in the Senate. With Florida’s legislative session scheduled to end Friday, May 2, both Politico and the Florida Phoenix report that, despite support in the House, the bill is likely dead and unlikely to reach DeSantis.

Three-time Grammynominated drummer Nate Smith comes to Judson’s Live this week with Kiefer, CARRTOONS and Andrew Randazzo
This week, Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center welcomes three-time Grammynominated drummer Nate Smith to Judson’s Live. He’ll be performing with keyboardist Kiefer, plus bassists CARRTOONS (May 2) and Butcher Brown’s Andrew Randazzo (May 3 and 4). I recently interviewed Smith — who is currently in the studio recording a follow-up to his 2021 album Kinfolk 2: See the Birds — about his journey from Tidewater Virginia to jamming with giants of jazz and going viral on Instagram, beginning with:
Finding early inspiration from his father’s record collection:
My dad loved music. He especially loved instrumental R&B music of the late ’70s, early ’80s. So artists like Quincy Jones and the Jazz Crusaders, Grover Washington and David Sanborn and that kind of stuff. … I absorbed it from an early age, and I was always fascinated with the rhythms; I was always fascinated with the patterns. When I got old enough to understand it, I noticed that my brother, who was in high school marching band, had a little drum set in our house. He would play a little bit, and I would watch him play, and I would try to mimic what he was doing. And then when he went away to college, I set the drums up myself in the garage. I just wanted to see if I could make them sound like those records I’ve been hearing, if I could do an impersonation of those drummers. That was really the beginning of it.
His early years in marching bands: I learned a great deal about the fundamentals
in marching band, [like] stick technique. The building blocks were really there because we warmed up the same way every day. The consistency of the routine was really what I took away from marching band, not to mention the reading chops I got from learning those drum solos and memorizing that music. … A lot of that stuff sort of intersected in the marching band world for me.
Getting his big break in college:
I started as a music major [but] I ended up switching [to] mass communications. Back in the day it was basically a place where you could study music in advertising and film, which as it turns out, in the social media age I’ve ended up using a lot of those skills.
The big sort of break for me came my senior year in college, when I met the great jazz singer Betty Carter and she invited me to participate in this residency called Jazz Ahead [at the Kennedy Center]. That was the big eye-opening break for me that changed my trajectory.
Touring
Japan with Pat Metheny:
The first time I met Pat, I was actually playing with Chris Potter, the great saxophonist [and] I didn’t even know he was there. He had a baseball cap on, and he was very incognito. But a couple years later, he called me and invited me to come by his apartment and just play, and of course I was honored to do it. We had a great time — we had a ball! — and then he invited me to be a part of this trio called the Side Eye Project.
We did a couple weeks in Japan; we did a monthlong tour [and] it was just a really great time. I really learned a lot about putting a set
of music together from Pat. He’s really good at understanding what his audience wants to hear, but also playing stuff that satisfies him musically.
Creating albums with Brittany Howard:
I was obsessing over Sound & Color , the Alabama Shakes record. I was listening to it nonstop, day and night, and out of out of the blue, I got an email from her manager, who said, “Hey man, Brittany would love for you to come out to L.A. and play, do some recording with her.” Of course, I was geeked to do it, so I went out to L.A. This was August of 2018; I got to meet her, I got to meet Sean Everett (who was her producer), and we just recorded for a couple weeks. That became the Jamie album, which came out in September of 2019.
We started touring it — I was her drummer for that first tour — and then, of course, COVID, in February 2020, shut everything down. We didn’t really get a chance to properly tour that record. I know that we were all disappointed to not get to play that music a little more. But as it turned out, we worked together again for her next album, which is called What Now, which came out last year, and we got to tour that all year last year. So we made up for lost time. Brittany is one of the most creative and talented and generous people I’ve ever met. She’s a really beautiful, beautiful person.
Crossing over musical genres:
I come out of the jazz musician tradition/ trajectory first; my roots are there, whether it’s straight-ahead jazz or avant-garde jazz or progressive jazz or so-called smooth jazz. It’s all coming out of that world.
I’m a jazz musician first, and everything else is sort of a jazz musician’s approach to that. I do play with rock artists, with hip-hop artists, a lot of different people, but I try to bring my own unique spin on it, and I always try to inject a little bit of improvisation into everything I’m doing.
His approach to song composition: I like to leave a lot of room for the musicians. I’ll write something that’s very skeletal: maybe just one little horn line, one little melody, and maybe an open solo section. It allows the musicians to take that and run with it. … On the loose-to-structured spectrum, I think I’m fairly on the loose side. But as you play the music, it starts to show you the structure night after night — the structures that create the most possibilities for the musicians.
Bringing jazz to the social media generation:
The most important thing that I’ve learned about using social media to engage is to be really authentic with people. Just give them a vantage point into the process of making music [and be] completely transparent in terms of the process. There’s not a lot of tricks in my social media videos, there’s not a lot of fancy edits. I just play the music and let people see what I’m doing [and] I’m not averse at all to working with younger, up-and-coming musicians, and learning from them as well.
That’s really important; my heroes all have done that. Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, they always worked with younger musicians [and] that’s a mantra for me as well.

El Coqui Ninja leaps into the flavors of Chino Boricua at their Curry Ford West charmer
BY FAIYAZ KARA
The black rooster was replaced by a green frog — a sword-wielding, Puerto Rican ninja amphibian. It left more than a few taco fiends crowing in confusion. If this is beginning to sound like a passage from Naked Lunch, let me clarify.
The Curry Ford Road outpost of Black Rooster Taqueria closed last June and was replaced by El Coqui Ninja, a restaurant presenting a mashup of pan-Asian and Puerto Rican flavors. Its mascot is a green frog brandishing a blade, and its presence on the wall near the entrance all but erases any memory of Black Rooster’s Curry Ford experiment. This place is an explosion of reds, greens and tropical floral patterns blended with enough Chinoiserie and Japonisme to straddle the design line between tasteful and garish.
And our very late lunch (OK, it was linner) was hardly naked, but rather fully dressed — to the nines, in the case of the kung pao chicken mofongo ($17). The mash was served in a large pilón, the wood mortar in which fried green plantains are mixed with chicharrónes and garlic before being crushed. The accompanying pestle appeared on the plate, for show only (or perhaps as a tool to
convince insistent Dominicans of the superiority of Borinqueño mofongo). Regardless, the plantains are crowned with a heap of saucy, wok-fried chicken crunched with peanuts and onions and lit with chili peppers. A long plantain chip propped upright inside the vessel and a small Puerto Rican flag skewering a morsel of chicken only added to the stylish ensemble. Ay, que rico
Then our attention shifted to the rellenitos ($7) being enjoyed by a couple next to us.
“They’re fried potato balls filled with ground beef and cheese,” said our delightful server-warrior, noticing our envious gawking.“Amaze-balls,” proclaimed my wife, after dipping one of the fat croquettes into garlic aioli and downing it.
I quite enjoyed the cuerno egg rolls ($8) filled with Puerto Rican corned beef — it’s sautéed with sofrito, tomato, olives and potato. Sweet plantains and mozzarella are also stuffed into the crispy fried shells, and I thought it was a prime example of Chino Boricua fare. My pal, however, couldn’t get past the texture of the meat: “Too mushy.” My own textural concern was with the costillas deshuesadas ($18), another dish made popular by the Chinese in Puerto Rico. The boneless ribs we got were dried out,

unable to be salvaged by a sweet barbecue glaze. A side of tostones al ajillo (topped with garlic-butter sauce), couldn’t have been done any better. Fried rice, the other side of our choosing, was a bit too greasy and clumpy to be fully enjoyed, even with its liberal amount of shrimp and smoked pork. It lacked the characteristic “wok hei,” an absence that plagued the lo mein as well. Odd, considering a sizable wok was fired to make both sides. Those noodles played sidekick to serviceable fried shrimp ($18), as did flawless sweet plantains.
I should mention that the restaurant’s fusion spin applied to the cutlery as well: A knife and fork were rolled into my guests’ napkins, while mine had a knife and chopsticks. Extra spoons were all that we required to fully enjoy El Coqui Ninja’s dense cheese flan ($8), an ending baked by our server, who clearly took great pride in the recipe. Thoughts of a second homemade dessert, crème brûlée ($10), were entertained, but we were practically bursting at the seams. In fact, I was tempted to channel my inner Chuck Barris and bang that gong on the wall to let everyone know we were done. But I didn’t. It was just the funny little frog in my throat. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

WAYWARD SONS STILL CARRYING ON
Classic rockers Kansas roll with the punches, in music and life
BY ALAN SCULLEY
For 50-plus years, Kansas have traveled a winding path that has included periods of major success, lulls in the band’s popularity, arrivals and departures of multiple band members that have introduced different talents into the lineup and stretched the band’s sound into new territories, a long span of time where Kansas didn’t make new music, and since 2014, a return to making new albums and an upswing in the band’s touring business.
The past year has brought new twists and challenges to the Kansas story. On the more concerning side, drummer and original member Phil Ehart suffered a serious heart attack in February 2024. Against the odds, he’s recovering, but has stepped away from touring, with his drum tech Eric Holmquist taking over the drummer slot.
“The heart attack that he had, they call a widowmaker,” singer-keyboardist Ronnie Platt explains to Orlando Weekly. “I guess there are two different kinds of widowmakers, of which I was told one particular type only 15 percent of people survive and the other one only 25 percent of people survive. So that’s pretty scary but, you know, Phil had everything in his corner, living an extremely clean lifestyle for being a rock star.”
Platt reports that Ehart, who remains the manager for Kansas and handles the band’s business, sounds great these days and is full of energy. But whether he’ll return to touring with Kansas is an open question.
“There’s no predicting what he wants to do,” Platt says. “Will he return to the band? At this point I know he wants to come out and — not do
an entire show — but play songs here and there. So as far as the future and beyond that, you never know. It all depends on how he feels.”
For his part, Platt also had a recent major health scare. In February he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent surgery. But things worked out exceptionally well for the singer and he was back performing with Kansas a month later.
“Talk about taking the wind out of your sails, you know, to have the doctor say that your cancer is malignant. The first thing that came to my head was how much time do I have?” Platt says. “So to go from wondering if I had three months, six months, a year to live, to a clean bill of health a month later, it’s pretty spectacular.”
As it turned out, surgeons were able to remove

the tumor without having to remove Platt’s thyroid, and his recovery was smooth.
Another positive development for Kansas has been the return of guitarist Zak Rizvi. In a 2023 interview, guitarist Richard Williams had reported that after finishing the 2020 album The Absence of Presence, Rizvi — who produced the album and was a main songwriter on the album (as well as 2016’s The Prelude Implicit) — had left Kansas and there had been “little to no contact” with him since.
The group, though, reconnected with Rizvi when Williams had to miss a show and the band invited Rizvi to fill in. Platt says he thinks Rizvi realized he missed touring and soon he was welcomed back into Kansas.
“Talk about just an insanely talented guy,” Platt says of Rizvi. “What a phenomenal guitar player. His knowledge of music theory is bottomless and then to be such a great producer and songwriter, I mean anyone would want Zak in their band.”
So things are once again looking up for the band, which broke big with their fourth album, Leftoverture, in 1976. Featuring the single “Carry On Wayward Son,” the album went platinum. Their next album, Point of Know Return — featuring the hit single “Dust in the Wind” — was another blockbuster and solidified Kansas as one of the hottest rock bands of their era.
Over the years since, Kansas has made more albums, toured consistently, and opened a new chapter in 2014 when longtime singer Steve Walsh retired and Platt took over the frontman slot.
Platt, who had played in various Chicago-area bands for some three decades, was a lifelong fan of Kansas, but he admitted he worried about whether fans would accept him as the band’s new singer.
“Right before I was about to do my first show with Kansas, I saw an episode of Behind the Music with Styx and Lawrence Gowan taking Dennis DeYoung’s place and he talks about the crowd not being so nice to him,” Platt says. “That’s putting it lightly. And I saw that episode right before my first show and I’m like I’m going to stand where Steve Walsh stood? ‘Jesus, what the heck is wrong with me. I’m throwing myself into the fire!’”
But the backlash didn’t happen, as Platt believes fans recognized his passion for Kansas’ music, and 11 years later he’s still fronting Kansas.
“My time in Shooting Star was only four years,” he says. “I thought to myself, ‘Oh my God, if this can go two years, even three years, [it] would be a dream.’ Anything beyond that would just, you know, it was hard to conceive.”

LOCAL RELEASES
Kris Zaballero (they/them) is an artist thoroughly of the internet age. Under the moniker Paper Aviator, the local nonbinary Filipinx musician and composer specializes in digital fusion music, a post-modern microgenre that casts a computer-music aesthetic (e.g. VGM, chiptune, etc.) onto traditional styles like jazz, classical, prog, funk, pop and rock. But Zaballero’s latest project is even more extremely online than that.
Cloud Crew is a fluid experimental art collective spearheaded by Paper Aviator. “The collective is basically just my Discord server,” Zaballero says. “It’s a bunch of music and art friends — college classmates, local musicians and artists, etc., but primarily composers from the ‘Digital Fusion’ community. There are folks from all around the world: Sweden, the U.K., Japan, Argentina. It’s also a very LGBTQ+ server, with lots of trans musicians and artists.”
Cloud Crew’s maiden venture is a collaboration crash course that resulted in a recently released LP titled A Is for ALBUM! “Essentially, the album worked like a game jam, but for an album,” says Caballero. “I gave the prompt ‘A is for …’ and people would offer ideas, and others would build off of them. The requirement was that everything had to be collaborative. Mastering and video editing happened after we made the weekend, but all the art and music was completed only in two days!”
Over a whirlwind weekend, Zaballero conducted a brigade of over 20 Digifu artists that included Alexa Welch, Ash Zaballero, Avoset, Bec, Ixen Arcaniss, Centurion.cee, Cartoondemonart, DonutShoes, Finni, Han Elliot, Garpejio, Minsung Kim, Ohmepeepee, October, Pigdeons, SnugglyBun, Telebasher, PunkRockGlock, Winnie and Zantilla. Given the scheme, it’s unsurprising that the result is
Cloud Crew is a fluid experimental art collective spearheaded by Paper Aviator, a local nonbinary Filipinx musician. Over eight tracks, their brand-new
A Is for ALBUM! is a roller coaster that takes a rainbow of sounds, shakes ’em around and serves ’em up like a splashy cocktail
a head-spinning ride that’s as much pastiche as it is kaleidoscope. What is surprising, though, is how well it all works.
Over eight tracks, the album is a Technicolor roller coaster that takes a dizzying rainbow of sounds, shakes ’em around and serves ’em up like a splashy cocktail. There’s jazz (“Adventure!,” “Ambience!”), spacey soul (“Apprehensive!”), folk (“Alligator!”), action-movie funk (“Almost!!!”), mallsoft drum & bass (“ASDF/Amen Break!”), metal (“Anguish!”) and a playful accordion stomper that could jam with Mexico Institute of Sound (“Accordion!”). What binds everything is an energy that’s collective, exuberant and infectious. It makes for a joyride that packs the colorful variety of a mixtape and the breathless fun of a mashup. Even better, all money raised by the album will be donated to Zebra Youth, the Orlando
organization that provides crucial services to at-risk LGBTQ+ youth. So, while the internet has proven to be more doomsday than deliverance, projects like Cloud Crew prove that positivity is still possible. A Is for ALBUM! is on Bandcamp and YouTube. It’s the first of what will be a series, with a second session already completed. So stay tuned.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
The Modern Metal Trio, Thomas Milovac/ Jonas Van den Bossche duo: The Modern Metal Trio are an accomplished threesome comprised of drummer Lukas Ligeti, pianist Rubens Salas and DJ João Brasil. What they’re not, however, is an actual metal act — which you might’ve deduced from the words “pianist” and “DJ.” Instead, they’re a free improvisation group with deep avant-garde bona fides whose upcoming Orlando show will be their first time performing outside Miami. Representing Orlando at this night of free improv will be the duo of Thomas Milovac and Jonas Van den Bossche, two of our own leading names in extemporary music. Where it’ll go, no one knows. But with improv veterans like this, it’s sure to be thrilling. (8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 1, The Falcon, $10-$15)
Tall Juan, Midhouse, Fast Preacher, Alan Marco: Local promoter Ugly Orange has opened Orlando to lots of excellent underground acts over the years. Even so, NYC’s Tall Juan stands out as one of the most memorable. His open-ended and ever-shifting sound has ranged widely, from egg punk to Latin to psych pop. What’s defined his ethos, though, is a rock sensibility that’s as arty as it is garage. On stage, Tall Juan’s always electric. Joining him are Orlando openers Midhouse, Fast Preacher and Alan Marco.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30
TikTok-famous — 1998’s “Duvet” is prime reel fodder for all occasions — U.K. rockers Bôa head to the Plaza Live as part of a lengthy stateside campaign. This Orlando concert is the second date of their tour, so expect the energy. And they’ve got plenty of energy already bottled up, having just ended a lengthy hiatus culminating in the release of new album Whiplash, their first fulllength in nearly two decades. “Duvet”-heads will not be disappointed with their new material, like latest single “Walk With Me.” It’s fully in line with their initial 1990s creative bloom — full-throated alt-rock with Jasmine Rodgers’ (as in the daughter of Paul Rodgers from Bad Company) vocals front and center. 8 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $25-$35. — Matthew Moyer

CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso
Fresh off two viral Coachella performances, this Argentine duo is ready to rock their ever-growing Florida fanbase. CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso are childhood friends from Buenos Aires having the time of their lives making a heady mix of experimental hip-hop, pop and electronic sounds. They’ve caught listeners’ attention with their authenticity and high-energy performances — for proof, pull up sets on NPR’s Tiny Desk and Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. The Tiny Desk version of “El Único” — from 2024 album Baño María — sees the two recounting salacious exploits to each other, before they figure out they are describing the same woman, resulting in the punchline “We’ve been fucking the same girl” blowing up. CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso’s world tour is sure to be chaotic in the best way, with new songs, new dances and plenty of new fans. 7 p.m., The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $20$40. — Juno Le

Giselle
Even beyond the grave, love has no end. Orlando Ballet’s final performance of its current season brings a legendary romantic ballet to the Steinmetz stage. The haunting tale of Giselle is for the lustful and the lonely — a tale of innocence, love and betrayal. Giselle, a young peasant girl with a passion for dancing, is courted by Count Albrecht, a disguised nobleman who hides his title and engagement to another woman. Giselle dies of a broken heart after discovering Albrecht’s deception, but her ghostly form rises to protect her beloved from evil spirits nonetheless. Orlando Ballet’s dancers will be accompanied by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, performing the famed score by French composer Adolphe Adam. Various times, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $37-$165. — JL
FRIDAY, MAY 2
Blone Noble
After a bit of a break, Panic! Underground returns rejuvenated with a show that’s a bit more guitar-centric than, well, any of their previous iterations. Los Angeles’ Blone Noble, a suave and enigmatic chameleon with ties to Cold Cave, is now on his own, proffering dramatic electro-rock with gleaming synth undertones. (Think Bowie’s Thin White Duke with an extensive collection of James Chance and Dark Entries albums instead of Philly soul.) Expect sleek and angular theatrics soundtracked by pulsing grooves. Local support comes from rough-and-tumble Velvets-summoners Tiger Beat — and it’s been a very long time since they’ve played out and about. Come out and get lost in the fog. But you’d better bring extra sunglasses anyway. 9 p.m., Iron Cow, 2438 E. Robinson St., facebook.com/ ironcowsushilounge, $10. — MM

DeathbyRomy
Rising dark-pop star DeathbyRomy is coming to Orlando on her first headlining tour, spanning the U.S. and Europe. The LA-born creative has garnered a following on social media and beyond for her provocative lyrics and powerhouse vocals. Her songwriting, melding pop melodies and electronic-dance beats, has fans comparing her talents to the likes of Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga. DeathbyRomy is promoting the release of her latest album, Hollywood Forever, an angsty dive into the predatory behavior of the music industry on young talents and the tragedy of dreamers seeking greatness in La-La Land. Catch her in a more intimate venue this weekend before the rest of Orlando sees her in November at Warped Tour. 7 p.m., The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $20. — JL

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80
Scion of musical royalty Seun Kuti steers Egypt 80 into Orlando this week for one of two very rare Florida shows. The son of Nigerian Afrobeat maestro Fela Kuti, the younger Kuti is leading his father’s band Egypt 80 on an extensive tour throughout the U.S. that is taking the musicians everywhere from Coachella out west to four nights at the Blue Note in NYC. Kuti and company are performing songs from their new, Lenny Kravitz-produced record Heavier Yet (Lays the Crownless Head), a potent updating of his father’s irrestistable Afrobeat sound — a hard-edged melding of stateside funk and jazz grooves with ecstatic African sounds — and staying true to his family’s commitment to social activism. Or as Brit mag Mojo opines, Kuti uses his music in service of the three Rs: “resistance, resilience and revolution.” All much needed. 7 p.m., The Beacham, 46 N.

and PPS, Ray Brazen, Thomas Jackson Park and DanielFuzztone all getting weird to help out some friends. If we see you dodging the door-person or donation bucket, you might get the frowning of a lifetime. 6 p.m., Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall, 1016 N. Mills Ave., donations are mandatory. — MM
