Last week's U.S. Supreme Court tie vote on a case involving President Obama's immigration plan was a severe disappointment for Florida's immigrant community. The 4-4 deadlock left undisturbed a ruling from a federal appeals court that shut down two of the President's programs, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA, and the extension of a similar program, DACA, which protected immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. The programs would have affected millions of immigrants who lack legal status.

Fatal car crash claims life of elderly Florida man
Florida drivers who are obeying the rules of the road and are simply going about their business can still be affected by a car crash and its aftermath. Unfortunately, in some of these accidents, the impact can be so severe that it leads to a fatality.

Is there a visa for foreigners' training programs in the U.S.?
While there are many immigrants who want to come to Miami and other locations throughout the United States to live and work, there are also foreign nationals who receive an invitation to take part in training programs offered in the U.S. These people are known as H-3 trainees.

Wrongful death suit filed against Coney Island Hospital
Hospitals are meant to be safe places; institutions of healing and trust. However, there are some instances in which that trust is broken.

A recent incident in New York illustrates this point.
How can my foreign fiancée move to the US to marry?
In our global community, relationships can develop in many situations, and often span time and distance.

High speed alleged in fatal Miami-Dade collision

There are many possible reasons for denial of a U.S. visa
