Major US airlines delayed or canceled more than 10,000 flights this weekend, citing thunderstorms in Florida and technology issues

• Thousands of airline passengers across the US experienced flight disruptions this weekend.
• Major US carriers canceled or delayed more than 10,000 flights total on Saturday and Sunday, according to FlightAware.
• The disruptions owe largely to bad weather, but technology issues were also a factor.

Thousands of airline passengers across the US ran into trouble at the airport this weekend when major carriers experienced massive disruptions to their flight schedules.

On Saturday, 6,049 flights traveling within, into, or out of the US were delayed, and 1,934 were canceled, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware. An additional 3,013 US flights were delayed and 1,517 canceled as of Sunday afternoon. The disruptions come amid the busy spring break travel period, and as air travel rebounds in response to relaxed COVID-19 restrictions.

All told, more than 10,000 flights have been delayed or canceled this weekend. Many disruptions were due to inclement weather, including thunderstorms, in Florida, while others stemmed from technology issues. 

The affected carriers Saturday included major US airlines like American, Southwest, United, and Delta.  

Southwest Airlines bore the brunt of the disruptions. On Saturday, 44% of its flights were delayed and 14% canceled.

"We have all hands on deck to get delayed customers and their bags onto available flights and we're sharing additional guidance and wide flexibility to self-serve travel changes," a company spokesperson said in a statement.

Southwest issued an apology to customers on Saturday, saying the disruptions stemmed from "briefly pausing our service earlier this morning as we worked to resolve an intermittent technology issue, as well as ongoing weather challenges in Florida impacting multiple areas within our system."

The company told Insider it issued 400 proactive cancelations on Sunday, which were put in place the day prior because aircrafts and crews were out of their planned positions owing to Saturday's disruptions.

American Airlines saw 21% of its flight schedule delayed on Saturday and 12% canceled. An American Airlines spokesperson told Insider in a statement on Sunday that the company is "recovering from those disruptions." 

"Yesterday's weather in and around Florida and resulting ATC [air traffic control] initiatives impacted our operations with most northbound and southbound routes through and to Florida affected," the spokesperson said. 

At United Airlines, 26% of Saturday's flights were delayed and 2% canceled.

"Our operation yesterday was impacted by weather, especially in Florida. We are working to get customers to their destinations as safely and quickly as possible," a United Airlines spokesperson said in a statement.

Delta Airlines delayed 22% of its flights Saturday and canceled 8% of them. The company did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Low-cost carriers like JetBlue, Frontier, and Spirit also experienced disruptions over the weekend.

Space ships, storms and other reasons your Florida flight could be delayed this summer

Editor's Note

Headed to Florida sometime soon? You might have to wait just a bit longer to see Mickey Mouse or lounge on one of the state's beaches.

Air traffic congestion has become a major issue, affecting flights headed into and out of Florida – and, in extreme cases , across the county.

While flight delays are an accepted part of traveling, they've gotten so bad recently in the northern part of the state that airline executives are starting to speak up.

"The airline industry has specific impacts with respect to Florida air traffic control and travel through there," Southwest COO Mike Van de Ven said during the company's first-quarter earnings call in April.

"The weather issues and resulting downline impacts were exacerbated by staffing shortages at the Jacksonville Air Traffic Control Center, which controls airspace over the northern two-thirds of Florida," Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said during his company's first-quarter earnings call, adding that the airline would be trimming its capacity through that area.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which is responsible for the nation's air traffic control system, says that the issue is multi-faceted and the result of a number of problems happening at once. This week, the FAA met in Florida with airlines and other stakeholders about the issue, and the group will meet again to collaboratively work on solutions. Here are some of the issues that the FAA says is contributing to these delays.

The airline executives tend to aim most of their ire on staffing, which is indeed a large part of the problem. The Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center, known in the industry by its identifier, ZJX, is short-staffed, as are a number of other FAA facilities.

There has been a shortage of controllers for at least 15 years, a problem that surfaced as controllers hired after the 1981 ATC strike began to retire in waves. More recently, the issue has been exacerbated by COVID-19. The pandemic has affected the supply of new controllers — who take years to train — as well as the FAA's new-hire training academy in Oklahoma City, which was closed for a period during the pandemic. Facility-specific on-the-job training that is conducted once controllers graduate from the academy (or transfer from other facilities) has been on and off during the various COVID waves due to social distancing concerns. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the labor union representing air traffic controllers, did not respond to a request for comment.

There's been a marked increase in convective weather — think thunderstorms — in northern Florida in recent years. The map below, provided by the FAA, shows a significant increase in stormy weather across the Jacksonville Center's airspace this past March, compared to previous years. That convective weather has the effect of closing down routing options for aircraft, meaning air traffic has fewer places to go, which can cause delays — especially on peak days, when a large number of flights are vying for space.

Space launches

NASA's Kennedy Space Center has seen a significant increase in space launches in recent months, mostly consisting of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. For safety reasons, the airspace around the center, on Central Florida's east coast, must be closed around the time of the space launch. This has a similar effect as the weather: there are fewer options for routing aircraft during these events.

The airspace is shared with the military

Florida's peninsular shape makes some of its coastal waters an ideal spot for military aircraft to conduct training exercises. When Southwest had its severe operational issues last October, a U.S. Navy exercise that closed off some airspace was seen as one of the causes.

Florida is very popular right now

This is not only a supply issue but also a demand one. Since the early days of the pandemic, Florida has been one of the fastest domestic travel markets to recover, and many of the state's airports are now operating with more traffic than before the pandemic, as both airline and corporate jet demand surge. FAA data shows that Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is operating at 132% of its pre-pandemic levels, with Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) at 116%, Miami International Airport (MIA) at 113% and Tampa International Airport (TPA) at 107%.

Bottom line

An almost perfect storm-like confluence of factors is causing significant ATC delays in Florida. Staffing, weather, rocket launches, military exercises and increased demand are all making life difficult for airlines and their passengers. As the industry meets this week to work on possible solutions, airline executives are hoping that they will soon see relief in this important leisure market.

FAA delay program causing disruptions at Florida airports, holiday traveler count still high

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Officials with Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and Tampa International Airport expect high numbers of holiday travelers coming through but there could be some impediments, including an average wait of 124 minutes if you are coming into Florida.

SRQ officials tell ABC7 that the expect 17-18,000 travelers Tuesday with upwards of 20,000 on Wednesday. Tampa International estimates they will serve 76,000 travelers today though they are reporting significant delays.

Currently the FAA is reporting a delay program that is causing significant delays at Florida airports, that includes Tampa International Airport. Flight Aware shows 137 flights delayed at TIA. Delay programs are to help control air traffic volumes. As of 4 p.m. there have been 185 flight delays at Tampa.

There are some delays at Sarasota Bradenton Airport. Those delays are not because of the FAA delay program. Check your flight status before you head to the airport or check with your airline.

Civil rights groups warn tourists about traveling to Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. — The NAACP over the weekend issued a travel advisory for Florida, joining two other civil rights groups in warning potential tourists that recent laws and policies championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers are "openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals."

The NAACP, long an advocate for Black Americans, joined the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a Latino civil rights organization, and Equality Florida, a gay rights advocacy group, in issuing travel advisories for the Sunshine State, where tourism is one of the state's largest job sectors.

The warning approved Saturday by the NAACP's board of directors tells tourists that, before traveling to Florida, they should understand the state of Florida "devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."

Critics say Florida aims to rewrite history by rejecting African American studies

An email was sent Sunday morning to DeSantis' office seeking comment. The Republican governor is expected to announce a run for the GOP presidential nomination this week.

Florida is one of the most popular states in the U.S. for tourists, and tourism is one of its biggest industries. More than 137.5 million tourists visited Florida last year, marking a return to pre-pandemic levels, according to Visit Florida, the state's tourism promotion agency. Tourism supports 1.6 million full-time and part-time jobs, and visitors spent $98.8 billion in Florida in 2019, the last year figures are available.

Several of Florida's Democratic mayors were quick to say Sunday that their cities welcomed diversity and inclusion.

"EVERYONE is always welcome and will be treated with dignity and respect," tweeted Mayor Ken Welch of St. Petersburg in a message echoed by the mayor across the bay in Tampa.

"That will never change, regardless of what happens in Tallahassee," tweeted Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa.

Disney sues Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, claiming 'government retaliation'

The NAACP's decision comes after the DeSantis' administration in January rejected the College Board's Advanced Placement African American Studies course . DeSantis and Republican lawmakers also have pressed forward with measures that ban state colleges from having programs on diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as critical race theory , and also passed the Stop WOKE Act that restricts certain race-based conversations and analysis in schools and businesses.

In its warning for Hispanic travelers considering a visit to Florida, LULAC cited a new law that prohibits local governments from providing money to organizations that issue identification cards to people illegally in the country and invalidates out-of-state driver's licenses held by undocumented immigrants, among other things. The law also requires hospitals that accept Medicaid to include a citizenship question on intake forms, which critics have said is intended to dissuade immigrants living in the U.S. illegally from seeking medical care.

"The actions taken by Governor DeSantis have created a shadow of fear within communities across the state," said Lydia Medrano, a LULAC vice president for the Southeast region.

Recent efforts to limit discussion on LGBTQ topics in schools, the removal of books with gay characters from school libraries, a recent ban on gender-affirming care for minors, new restrictions on abortion access and a law allowing Floridians to carry concealed guns without a permit contributed to Equality Florida's warning.

"Taken in their totality, Florida's slate of laws and policies targeting basic freedoms and rights pose a serious risk to the health and safety of those traveling to the state," Equality Florida's advisory said.

NAACP says Florida travel warning is just the start of organizing effort

Advisory about state’s ‘active hostility’ is beginning of campaign to engage voters ahead of DeSantis presidential run, leaders say

Leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) say its travel advisory highlighting Florida’s “active hostility” to minorities is only the beginning of a campaign to engage voters in the state and nationally, as the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, prepares to launch his presidential run on Wednesday.

Leon Russell, chair of the NAACP, also told the Guardian that the group rejected calling for an economic boycott of the state similar to one that ended with South Carolina lowering the confederate flag in 2015.

“Very simply put, we questioned the effectiveness of a boycott,” Russell said. “In Florida , this is about the politics of the situation and so people need to buckle in and organize, and get themselves arranged to deal with elections and the consequences of the elections.

“It’s to make the general public across the nation fully aware of what’s happening here in Florida. The legislative actions that concern us cover a broad gamut, not just Black history, not just public education, but what we consider to be attacks on different groups of people who make up the state of Florida.

“We’re not saying, ‘Don’t come to Florida, don’t spend your money here,’ we’re saying if you are coming, come to an entertainment center that supports diversity, equity and inclusion, go to companies that support all groups of people, corporations that have spoken out in favor of human rights rather than trying to restrict them.”

DeSantis, who has signed into law a raft of legislation targeting African Americans , including an assault on Black voting rights , is planning to launch his long-anticipated presidential run on Wednesday night in conversation with the owner of Twitter, Elon Musk. Russell, however, said the timing of the NAACP advisory was coincidental.

“Whether it be immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, women and reproductive rights, or voting rights, there are any number of issues that the Florida legislature and the governor have taken up, and we believe that all of those things generally the public needs to be aware of,” he said.

“People have to talk about [DeSantis’s] record but they have to talk about the record of every candidate and compare everyone running for office, whether it’s at the primary level or way up.

“In 2024 is not just the presidential election, there are other elections, and we have really one party dominating all the politics in the state of Florida.”

Conservatives reacted swiftly to the NAACP’s advisory on Monday, with DeSantis’s spokesperson calling it “a stunt” and Christian Ziegler, chair of the Florida Republican party, offering to help pay for Russell to move out of the state from his home in Tampa.

Russell called Ziegler’s offer “BS”. “Frankly, we didn’t tell anyone to leave,” he said. “We look at this as a way to build participation in the electoral process, and that we do it from the bottom up, not just presidential politics, but local politics as well.

“We said that we would take this into a civic engagement program, that we will collaborate with other groups on all of the issues that we’ve talked about, whether it’s redistricting, whether it’s women’s reproductive rights or whatever.”

The NAACP advisory follows a similar statement issued last month by the advocacy group Equality Florida, which warned of “the risks posed to the health, safety, and freedom of those considering short or long term travel, or relocation to the state” following various anti-LGBTQ+ legislation signed by DeSantis.

But overall, Russell said he is optimistic that voters around the country will take developments in Florida with them to the ballot box next year.

“Ron DeSantis’s campaign against wokeness has awakened the people, and is awakening the people,” he said.

“And that’s the whole point here, to make sure that people are aware, that they’re not asleep, that they’re not apathetic, that they understand the importance of the political process and clearly understand their role in that process.

“That’s our work, not to go out and campaign against Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump or anyone else, but to go out and clearly state what the issues are and what our position is.”

NAACP Issues Travel Advisory in Florida

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

May 20, 2023

Contact: Chyna Fields [email protected]

WASHINGTON – Today, the NAACP Board of Directors issued a formal travel advisory for the state of Florida. The travel advisory comes in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools. 

The formal travel notice states, "Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color." 

"Let me be clear - failing to teach an accurate representation of the horrors and inequalities that Black Americans have faced and continue to face is a disservice to students and a dereliction of duty to all," said NAACP President & CEO Derrick Johnson. "Under the leadership of Governor Desantis, the state of Florida has become hostile to Black Americans and in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon. He should know that democracy will prevail because its defenders are prepared to stand up and fight. We're not backing down, and we encourage our allies to join us in the battle for the soul of our nation."

The travel advisory was initially proposed to the Board of Directors by NAACP's Florida State Conference. NAACP's collective consideration of this advisory is a result from unrelenting attacks on fundamental freedoms from the Governor and his legislative body. 

"Once again, hate-inspired state leaders have chosen to put politics over people. Governor Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida have engaged in a blatant war against principles of diversity and inclusion and rejected our shared identities to appeal to a dangerous, extremist minority," said Chair of the NAACP Board of Directors, Leon Russell. "We will not allow our rights and history to be held hostage for political grandstanding. The NAACP proudly fights against the malicious attacks in Florida, against Black Americans. I encourage my fellow Floridians to join in this fight to protect ourselves and our democracy."

Following Gov. DeSantis' so-called leadership in driving the state to reject students' access to AP African American studies course in March, the NAACP distributed 10,000 books to 25 predominantly Black communities across the state in collaboration with the American Federation of Teachers's Reading Opens the World program. The majority of the books donated were titles banned under the state's increasingly restrictive laws. The NAACP continues to encourage local branches and youth councils to start community libraries to ensure access to representative literature.

The NAACP encourages Florida residents to join this effort to defeat the regressive policies of this Governor and this state legislature. Interested residents and supporters can visit www.naacp.org for additional information and updates.

N.A.A.C.P. Issues Florida Travel Advisory, Joining Latino and L.G.B.T.Q. Groups

The N.A.A.C.P. urged people to consider Florida’s policies on diversity and race under Gov. Ron DeSantis when thinking of traveling there.

By Jesus Jiménez

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Saturday issued a travel advisory for Florida, saying that under Gov. Ron DeSantis the state has become “openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and L.G.B.T.Q.+ individuals.”

The N.A.A.C.P. joins the League of United Latin American Citizens , a civil rights organization that issued a Florida travel warning on Wednesday, and Equality Florida , a gay rights advocacy group that issued one last month.

The N.A.A.C.P.’s travel advisory does not explicitly recommend against travel to Florida. But it urges travelers to be aware of the state’s politics, and the organization said that “the governor and the state of Florida have shown that African Americans are not welcome in the state of Florida.”

The N.A.A.C.P. said in a statement on Saturday that the travel advisory was in “direct response to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity and inclusion programs in Florida schools.”

The advisory comes after Mr. DeSantis last week signed legislation defunding diversity programs at the state’s public universities and colleges. The advisory also cited concerns with a number of other laws recently passed in Florida regarding voting rights and concealed carry of guns.

Mr. DeSantis’s office did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

After signing the legislation last week on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, Mr. DeSantis said that the law would ensure “Florida’s institutions encourage diversity of thought, civil discourse and the pursuit of truth for generations to come.” Mr. DeSantis has often spoken out about what he describes as “woke indoctrination” and leftist agendas in schools.

It is not clear how much influence the statements will have on travel to Florida. But they demonstrated, along with his escalating disputes with Disney, how Mr. DeSantis’s reliance on conservative culture war issues as he gears up for what is expected to be a presidential run was colliding with the state’s signature industry.

Disney on Thursday announced it was backing off a plan to build an office complex in Orlando that would have cost about $1 billion and brought thousands of jobs to the state.

Derrick Johnson, the president and chief executive of the N.A.A.C.P., said in a statement on Saturday that under Mr. DeSantis’s leadership, Florida had “become hostile to Black Americans and in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon.”

“Let me be clear,” Mr. Johnson said, “failing to teach an accurate representation of the horrors and inequalities that Black Americans have faced and continue to face is a disservice to students and a dereliction of duty to all.”

Dana Young, president and chief executive of Visit Florida, the state’s tourism marketing corporation, called the travel advisories a “political stunt” most likely to hurt people in Florida who depend on tourism to support themselves and their families.

“It is disappointing when partisan organizations attempt to weaponize travel in pursuit of political ends,” she said.

While the N.A.A.C.P.’s travel advisory follows the new legislation restricting diversity, equity and inclusion programs in Florida schools, the travel advisory from the League of United Latin American Citizens, or L.U.L.A.C., cited concerns about legislation signed by Mr. DeSantis earlier this month that focused on undocumented immigrants.

The legislation will require private employers in Florida with 25 or more workers to confirm an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States. It will also invalidate ID cards issued to undocumented immigrants in other states, such as New York , and it will require Florida hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients whether they are U.S. citizens or whether they are “lawfully present” in the country.

David Cruz, a L.U.L.A.C. spokesman, said on Sunday that depending on an individual’s immigration status, the organization’s travel advisory was either a warning not to travel to Florida or an advisory to be cautious while traveling there.

Domingo Garcia, the national president of L.U.L.A.C., said at a news conference on Wednesday that Florida was using “immigrants as political piñatas for the purposes of basically just getting votes.”

In addition to issuing a travel advisory, Mr. Garcia said that L.U.L.A.C. was considering filing a lawsuit in federal court against the state of Florida when the legislation goes into effect in July. Mr. Cruz said the organization was also planning protests “in key Florida cities with significant Latino essential worker populations.”

Equality Florida issued its travel advisory last month, citing concern with a number of laws in Florida, including last year’s passage of legislation that prohibits classroom instruction and discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in some elementary school grades, a law that is often referred to by opponents as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Nadine Smith , the executive director of Equality Florida, said in a statement last month that her organization had to respond with a travel advisory “as the laws strip away basic rights and freedoms.”

L.U.L.A.C. officials pointed to the economic impact suffered by Arizona after the state passed legislation in 2010 that was viewed as the nation’s toughest effort to crack down on illegal immigration and criticized as encouraging racial profiling. A study at the time found that Arizona lost about $141 million alone in conference business after the state passed its legislation.

Lydia Guzmán, the chair of L.U.L.A.C.’s national immigration committee and state director for the organization in Arizona, said the state took a serious economic hit as a result of adverse reaction to the legislation.

“I see that happening also in Florida,” Ms. Guzmán said.

Biden puts Trump on trial in Florida over state's six-week abortion ban

TAMPA, Fla. - Working to lasso back into play a state that for years has drifted further right and keep abortion at the center of the 2024 White House debate, President Joe Biden visited Florida on Tuesday to tie his Republican rival Donald Trump to a new state law outlawing abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy.

With Trump on trial in a criminal case in New York City and limited from campaigning, Biden traveled to the former president’s home state to keep the political pressure on.

“In America today in 2024 women have fewer rights than their mothers and their grandmothers had because of Donald Trump," the incumbent Democratic president said of his GOP opponent this November in remarks before about 200 supporters in a gymnasium at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa.

Florida presents an opportunity for Biden to try and gain ground in a state that has been trending red ever since President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection. Polls still show Biden well behind, but the incumbent's campaign has been working hard to link Trump to a GOP abortion law that critics view as too extreme.

“I think Florida is in play, nationally," Biden said during a reception with supporters in a nearby cafeteria after his remarks.

Prep for the polls: See who is running for president and compare where they stand on key issues in our Voter Guide

As he prepared to launch his own presidential campaign last year and take on Trump in the GOP primary, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a measure outlawing abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which is around six weeks of pregnancy. The law takes effect May 1.

“Next week one of the nation’s most extreme anti-abortion laws will take effect here in Florida," Biden told the Tampa crowd on a stage flanked by big blue and white signs reading "reproductive freedom."

DeSantis used the law to try and make inroads with Evangelical voters in Iowa , a move that helped him come in second there but still not enough to last long in the 2024 Republican primaries. Trump was skeptical of the legislation from the start, calling it a "terrible mistake."

The former president has since come out against a national abortion ban, saying the issue should be left up to the states, even as he brags that he "broke" Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that for nearly 50 years had protected abortion rights until it was overturned in 2022 by a court reshaped by Trump.

Arizona and Florida rulings upend 2024

Trump’s position leaves him vulnerable to criticism that he is tactically encouraging extreme laws in many states.

The issue exploded this month when the Arizona Supreme Court reinstated a near total ban on abortions that was passed in 1864.

Trump says he opposes the Arizona law. He also could face pressure on the Florida law, especially considering it is a state he calls home and where he will cast a ballot in November .

Trump said earlier this month during an event at Mar-a-Lago, his private Palm Beach property, that when it comes to abortion “We did something that nobody thought was possible, we gave it back to the states. And the states are working very brilliantly." Biden seized on those words Tuesday.

“It’s a six-week ban in Florida, it’s really brilliant, isn’t it?" Biden said during the 12-minute speech. "Even before women know they’re pregnant. Is that brilliant?”

Biden also warned that “broader rights of privacy for everyone” such as protections for same sex marriage and birth control could be at risk after Roe was overturned, referencing the writings of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement that Biden's abortion views are "radical" and "wildly out of touch with most Americans."

"But that will not stop him from pitching it to Florida voters. Biden must have forgotten that thousands of Americans have fled from extremist Democrat policies to prosperous and pro-life states like Florida," Whatley said.

Other critics said Biden should focus on economic issues.

Americans for Prosperity-Florida state director Skylar Zander said in a statement that Biden should "address his poor economic approach and the adverse effects of his ‘Bidenomics’ economic policies on both the city and the state."

Florida will have a constitutional amendment on the ballot this year protecting abortion rights. It would overturn the law DeSantis signed and allow an abortion up to the point of fetal viability, generally around 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Biden noted there has been a backlash in many states to Roe being overturned, with voters approving measures to protect abortion rights. Florida will soon follow, he said.

“States all over this country from Ohio, Kansas, Michigan, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Virginia — women and men of every background voted in record numbers to protect reproductive freedom," Biden said. "This November you can add Florida to that list."

"Are you ready to do that?" the president added as the crowd cheered. "You gotta show up and vote!”

A USA TODAY/Ipsos survey found that 57% of registered voters in Florida support the constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights, which needs 60% support to pass, and 36% oppose, while 6% are undecided.

The survey also found that 55% of Floridians oppose banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy nationally.

Biden's campaign is trying to make Florida's new abortion law an issue in other swing states, noting in a campaign memo that Georgia and North Carolina also have restrictive abortion laws, and that Florida acted as an abortion haven for residents throughout the Southeast.

"When Florida’s ban takes effect, it will severely restrict reproductive health care access across the entire Southeastern United States, including neighboring battlegrounds of Georgia and North Carolina," Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote in a memo released Tuesday, adding: "Many women in the Southeast desperately in need of care will have to drive for a day or more to reach the closest clinic."

The Biden campaign is pledging to keep abortion "front and center" in the election.

"Trump is hoping that Americans will somehow forget that he’s responsible for the horror women are facing in this country every single day because of him. It’s a bad bet," Rodriguez wrote.

Sunshine State steep climb

While Biden may have an advantage on the abortion issue, he still faces a steep climb in Florida. The USA TODAY/Ipsos survey found him trailing Trump by eight percentage points.

Florida's reputation as the nation's largest swing state increasingly has seemed outdated.

Trump won Florida in 2016 by just a single percentage point, but won the state by three points in 2020 and DeSantis won reelection by 19 percentage points in 2022.

Florida Republicans surpassed Democrats in voter registration in 2021 and have continued to increase their advantage. There are now 851,000 more Republican voters in the state than Democrats.

“We take Florida very seriously,” Michael Tyler, the Biden campaign communications director, said in a call on Monday with reporters. “The idea that Donald Trump has the state in the bag could not be further from the truth.”

Regardless of whether he can win Florida, Biden could use the state as a foil for his campaign, highlighting conservative policies pushed by DeSantis. 

Gaza protests follow Biden to Florida

Anti-abortion activists and pro-Palestine activists held demonstrations outside Biden's event.

Tampa resident Ali Abdel-Qader, 24, with the Party for Socialism and Liberation helped organize a group of about 75 protesters who criticized Israel’s war in Gaza and accused the president of being complicit in “genocide.”

“We are not going to be voting for you Joe in November because you are supporting a genocide,” Abdel-Qadar said.

The crowd waved Palestinian flags, held signs reading “ceasefire now!” and “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free,” and chanted “Biden, Biden you can’t hide. You’re supporting genocide.”

'A tragedy': Veteran server mourns closure of The Dove III in Melbourne

For more than a decade, Kevin Canino had a job he loved.

He was a server at The Dove III , an upper-end Italian-American restaurant that brought droves of people to downtown Melbourne in its 12 years there. People remembered Canino’s name, asked for him in a restaurant with a healthy crowd of regulars. Birthdays, anniversaries and retirements were celebrated, businesspeople convened and friends met friends at the Dove III.

Then, earlier this month, came what were said to have been “electrical issues” followed by “plumbing issues,” which closed the restaurant.

Finally, on April 17, a new sign on the front door read, “To our patrons and friends, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that we have caused. Going forward, we will be closed indefinitely.”

The owners are Chef John Mattiello and his son, Carlo Mattiello, who greeted guests. In a brief comment to FLORIDA TODAY, Carlo Mattiello cited health concerns as the reason for the closure.

Customers were disappointed, as evidenced by online comments left by members of FLORIDA TODAY’s Facebook group, 321 Flavor: Where Brevard Eats.

“We were scheduled to have a party of 14 on May 2,” Susan Turner wrote on April 20. “The owner called yesterday to cancel our reservation and apologized. They are having some serious plumbing issues and he doesn't know when they'll be reopening.”

On April 18, Ann Thompson wrote, “We had a luncheon for 30 people confirmed this week. Dove could not be reached by phone to confirm and (we) finally tried to confirm ... in person. Nothing but a door sign and no consideration to notify us they were closed.”

Canino thinks it all is a shame, a tragedy. He believes the Dove’s employees, loyal as they are — none worked there less than six years — could have kept it going until a buyer was found, or at least until it closed with more dignity.

“We could have continued to operate the restaurant,” he said. “We'd done it before ... There was plenty of time to have organized a smooth transition and found investors or a buyer.”

It certainly did not close for lack of business.

“The dining room was completely packed up until the last day, every table occupied,” said Canino, who posted photos of the restaurant and its many diners to his Facebook page.

He has taken his good reputation to the Eau Gallie Yacht Club; other former Dove III employees continue to seek jobs.

Still, Canino could not help but be helpful where Dove III customers were concerned.

“Anyone still holding gift certificates for The Dove III restaurant, please mail them back to the restaurant with a self-addressed stamped envelope and you will receive a refund check,” he posted to 321 Flavor: Where Brevard Eats.

It is expected that the Dove III will be put up for sale. If and when it reopens under new owners, Canino said, he will be happy to return; he spoke of the “vision, heritage and reputation” of the restaurant.

“They were the very things that made me proud to work there," he said.

What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.

The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States reached 10.5 million in 2021, according to new Pew Research Center estimates. That was a modest increase over 2019 but nearly identical to 2017.

The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2021 remained below its peak of 12.2 million in 2007. It was about the same size as in 2004 and lower than every year from 2005 to 2015.

The new estimates do not reflect changes that have occurred since apprehensions and expulsions of migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border started increasing in March 2021 . Migrant encounters at the border have since reached historic highs .

Pew Research Center undertook this research to understand ongoing changes in the size and characteristics of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States. The Center has published estimates of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population for more than two decades. The estimates presented in this research are the Center’s latest, adding new and updated annual estimates for 2017 through 2021.

Center estimates of the unauthorized immigrant population use a “residual method.” It is similar to methods used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Immigration Statistics and nongovernmental organizations, including the Center for Migration Studies and the Migration Policy Institute . Those organizations’ estimates are generally consistent with ours. Our estimates also align with official U.S. data sources, including birth records, school enrollment figures and tax data, as well as Mexican censuses and surveys.

Our “residual” method for estimating the nation’s unauthorized immigrant population includes these steps:

• Estimate the total number of immigrants living in the country in a particular year using data from U.S. censuses and government surveys such as the American Community Survey and the Current Population Survey.
• Estimate the number of immigrants living in the U.S. legally using official counts of immigrant and refugee admissions together with other demographic data (for example, death and out-migration rates).
• Subtract our estimate of lawful immigrants from our estimate of the total immigrant population . This provides an initial estimate of the unauthorized immigrant population .

Our final estimate of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population, as well as estimates for lawful immigrants, includes an upward adjustment. We do this because censuses and surveys tend to miss some people . Undercounts for immigrants, especially unauthorized immigrants, tend to be higher than for other groups. (Our 1990 estimate comes from work by Robert Warren and John Robert Warren; details can be found here .)

The term “unauthorized immigrant” reflects standard and customary usage by many academic researchers and policy analysts. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Immigration Statistics also generally uses it. The term means the same thing as undocumented immigrants, illegal immigrants and illegal aliens.

For more details on how we produced our estimates, read the Methodology section of our November 2018 report on unauthorized immigrants.

The unauthorized immigrant population includes any immigrants not in the following groups:

• Immigrants admitted for lawful residence (i.e., green card admissions)
• People admitted formally as refugees
• People granted asylum
• Former unauthorized immigrants granted legal residence under the 1985 Immigration Reform and Control Act
• Immigrants admitted under any of categories 1-4 who have become naturalized U.S. citizens
• Individuals admitted as lawful temporary residents under specific visa categories

Read the Methodology section of our November 2018 report on unauthorized immigrants for more details.

Pew Research Center’s estimate of unauthorized immigrants includes more than 2 million immigrants who have temporary permission to be in the United States. (Some also have permission to work in the country.) These immigrants account for about 20% of our national estimate of 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants for 2021.

Although these immigrants have permission to be in the country, they could be subject to deportation if government policy changes. Other organizations and the federal government also include these immigrants in their estimates of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population.

Immigrants can receive temporary permission to be in the U.S. through the following ways:

Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

In 2021, there were about 500,000 unauthorized immigrants with Temporary Protected Status . This status provides protection from removal or deportation to individuals who cannot safely return to their country because of civil unrest, violence or natural disaster.

Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is a similar program that grants protection from removal. The number of immigrants with DED is much smaller than the number with TPS.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is a program that offers protection from deportation to individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children before June 15, 2007. As of the end of 2021, there were slightly more than 600,000 DACA beneficiaries , largely immigrants from Mexico.

Asylum applicants

Individuals who have applied for asylum but are awaiting a ruling are not legal residents yet but cannot be deported. There are two types of asylum claims, defensive and affirmative .

Defensive asylum applications are generally filed by individuals facing deportation or removal from the U.S. These are processed by the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. At the end of 2021, there were almost 600,000 applications pending.

Affirmative asylum claims are made by individuals already in the U.S. who are not in the process of being deported or removed. These claims are handled by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). At the end of 2021, more than 400,000 applications for affirmative asylum were pending, some covering more than one applicant.

Here are key findings about how the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population changed from 2017 to 2021:

• The most common country of birth for unauthorized immigrants is Mexico. However, the population of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico dropped by 900,000 from 2017 to 2021 , to 4.1 million.
• There were increases in unauthorized immigrants from nearly every other region of the world – Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Asia, Europe and sub-Saharan Africa.
• Among U.S. states, only Florida and Washington saw increases to their unauthorized immigrant populations , while California and Nevada saw decreases. In all other states, unauthorized immigrant populations were unchanged.
• 4.6% of U.S. workers in 2021 were unauthorized immigrants , virtually identical to the share in 2017.

Trends in the U.S. immigrant population

The U.S. foreign-born population was 14.1% of the nation’s population in 2021. That was very slightly higher than in the last five years but below the record high of 14.8% in 1890.

As of 2021, the nation’s 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants represented about 3% of the total U.S. population and 22% of the foreign-born population. These shares were among the lowest since the 1990s.

Between 2007 and 2021, the unauthorized immigrant population decreased by 1.75 million, or 14%.

Meanwhile, the lawful immigrant population grew by more than 8 million, a 29% increase, and the number of naturalized U.S. citizens grew by 49%. In 2021, naturalized citizens accounted for about half (49%) of all immigrants in the country.

Where unauthorized immigrants come from

Unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. come from many parts of the world, with Mexico being the most common origin country.

The origin countries for unauthorized immigrants have changed since the population peaked in 2007, before the Great Recession slowed immigration. Here are some highlights of those changes:

The number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico living in the U.S. (4.1 million in 2021) was the lowest since the 1990s. Mexico accounted for 39% of the nation’s unauthorized immigrants in 2021, by far the smallest share on record .

The decrease in unauthorized immigrants from Mexico reflects several factors:

• A broader decline in migration from Mexico to the U.S.
• Mexican immigrants to the U.S. continuing to return to Mexico
• Expanded opportunities for lawful immigration from Mexico and other countries, especially for temporary agricultural workers.

The rest of the world

The total number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. from countries other than Mexico has grown rapidly. In 2021, this population was 6.4 million, up by 900,000 from 2017.

Almost every region in the world had a notable increase in the number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. from 2007 to 2021. The largest increases were from Central America (240,000) and South and East Asia (180,000).

After Mexico, the countries of origin with the largest unauthorized immigrant populations in the U.S. in 2021 were:

• El Salvador (800,000)
• India (725,000)
• Guatemala (700,000)
• Honduras (525,000)

India, Guatemala and Honduras all saw increases from 2017.

The Northern Triangle

Three Central American countries – El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala – together represented 2.0 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2021, or almost 20% of the total. The unauthorized immigrant population from the Northern Triangle grew by about 250,000 from 2017 and about 700,000 from 2007.

Other origin countries

Venezuela was the country of birth for 190,000 U.S. unauthorized immigrants in 2021. This population saw particularly fast growth, from 130,000 in 2017 and 55,000 in 2007.

Among countries with the largest numbers of U.S. unauthorized immigrants, India, Brazil, Canada and former Soviet Union countries all experienced growth from 2017 to 2021.

Some origin countries with significant unauthorized immigrant populations showed no change, notably China (375,000) and the Dominican Republic (230,000).

U.S. states of residence of unauthorized immigrants

The unauthorized immigrant population in most U.S. states stayed steady from 2017 to 2021. However, four states saw significant changes:

• Florida (+80,000)
• Washington (+60,000)
• California (-150,000)
• Nevada (-25,000)

States with the most unauthorized immigrants

The six states with the largest unauthorized immigrant populations in 2021 were:

• California (1.9 million)
• Texas (1.6 million)
• Florida (900,000)
• New York (600,000)
• New Jersey (450,000)
• Illinois (400,000)

These states have consistently had the most unauthorized immigrants since 1990 and earlier .

At the same time, the unauthorized immigrant population has become less geographically concentrated. In 2021, these six states were home to 56% of the nation’s unauthorized immigrants, down from 80% in 1990.

Unauthorized immigrants in the labor force

The share of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. workforce was slightly less than 5% in 2021, compared with 3% of the total U.S. population.

Demographics help explain the difference: The unauthorized immigrant population includes relatively few children or elderly adults, groups that tend not to be in the labor force.

Overall, about 7.8 million unauthorized immigrants were in the U.S. labor force in 2021. That was up slightly from 2019 but smaller than every year from 2007 through 2015.

Detailed table: Unauthorized immigrants in the labor force for states, 2021 (Excel)

Here are some additional findings about unauthorized immigrants as a share of the workforce nationwide and in certain states:

• Since 2003, unauthorized immigrants have made up 4.4% to 5.4% of all U.S. workers, a relatively narrow range.
• Fewer than 1% of workers in Maine, Montana, Vermont and West Virginia in 2021 were unauthorized immigrants.
• Nevada (9%) and Texas (8%) had the highest shares of unauthorized immigrants in the workforce.
