"Great decision by Governor DeSantis. John is one of the most intelligent, genuine people around and will make a phenomenal Justice in the Florida Supreme Court," said West Miami Vice Mayor Eric Diaz-Padron.

We also congratulate Judge Renatha Francis on her appointment today to the Florida Supreme Court by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

"Judge Francis is an excellent choice by Governor Ron DeSantis! Her remarks today were inspirational. Born in Jamaica and raised by a single mother, she is an example to Florida’s children from diverse backgrounds that they too can dream and one day serve on the highest court of the state," said Florida Federation of Young Republicans Chairwoman Jessica Fernandez.

OP-ED: China intentionally infected the world. America must take action.

More than 320,000 people have died from COVID-19 across the world, with thousands more added every day. The pandemic has caused tens of trillions of dollars of economic damages, overwhelmed healthcare systems, plunged most countries into severe recessions, devastated hundreds of thousands of businesses, and forced tens of millions of families into layoffs and financial ruin.

On Cuban Independence Day, we recognize the patriots who fought to liberate Cuba from its colonial oppression and build a society founded on freedom. We continue to stand with the Cuban people as they seek those fundamental rights, and we express our commitment to supporting them as they continue to fight for freedom and democracy.

The United States has historic ties to the Cuban people and remains in solidarity with the millions who have fled the oppression of Cuba’s tyrannical regime in search of a new life. Cuba’s people deserve a government that promotes individual liberties, basic human rights, and opportunities to prosper. The Cuban model represents failed socialism, and we will continue to ensure that Cuba does not export its repression anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. That is why I took action early in my Administration to implement a strong policy toward Cuba that promotes respect for human rights, free markets, and a transition to democracy in Cuba. America will keep working with our allies and partners in the Western Hemisphere to bring stability, religious liberty, cooperation, and a freer future to the great people of Cuba.

Today, we celebrate the many contributions of Cuban Americans to our American story, and we pledge to continue working with them to secure a better tomorrow for Cuba.
