Maria Fernanda Perez, owner of an arepa shop in Doral, poses for a portrait at her food stall in downtown Doral, Florida, on October 13, 2026. Perez, who owns an arepa shop in Doral, a Florida city with a large population of people with Venezuelan ancestry, regrets voting for Trump. Three of her employees have stopped coming to work for fear of immigration raids, and her sales have fallen 40 percent because people in the community are afraid to go out. "My thinking was that the economy would improve," the 32-year-old tells AFP explaining her vote for Trump. "I feel sad and disappointed... My whole family, all my friends are going through immigration proceedings, and they're no longer working, they're no longer going about their daily lives."
