Cubanos Pa’lante v. Florida House of Representatives

This case challenges one congressional district and three State House districts in South Florida as racially gerrymandered in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Legislature drew these districts along racial lines to form non-compact shapes, connect disparate neighborhoods, and divide established communities.

In doing so, lawmakers ignored the nuanced, multifaceted, and diverse nature of the region’s Hispanic and Latino community, treating Hispanic voters as a monolithic group based on false and stereotypic assumptions, which dilutes their influence. The use of race to draw these districts was not justified by the Voting Rights Act or the minority-protection provisions of Florida's Fair Districts Amendments.

We filed the case in May 2024. In November 2025, the court permitted our claims over Congressional District 26 and House Districts 115, 118, and 119 to proceed to trial, which was held in January 2026.

The Latest: A trial was held from January 12–15, 2026. We await a ruling.
