“I was watching television when they mentioned her name. I got so excited,” Jaen-Rivas said.
Lagoa has not served long as a federal judge. She joined the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in December after being appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate in a bipartisan 80-15 vote. The 11th Circuit is one of the regional appeals courts that are one step below the Supreme Court.
Lagoa played a role in a major international custody battle 20 years ago between the United States and Cuba over a 5-year-old boy named Elián González, who was rescued from the ocean after his mother drowned while fleeing Cuba with him. Lagoa provided free legal services to Elián’s relatives in Miami who sought to keep him here. Ultimately, Elián was returned to his father in Cuba.
The group cited a 2019 ruling in which Lagoa sided with businesses challenging Miami Beach’s minimum wage, as well as a decision she joined that made it harder for homeowners to fight foreclosure proceedings.
Excellent pick...she’s perfect
Trump had a real issue with that Judge ruling against him with his Border wall, Trump immediately pointed out that it was because the Judge was of Mexican Decent, but now a Miami White Cuban Female is his solution to win the Florida Hispanic vote? To counteract SC Judge Sotomayor
Let’s be honest: Trump and the GOP will pick the candidate who is the best suitable pick for THEIR agenda. And for no one else. So gender and ethnicity isn’t relevant or maybe only because Trump thinks it might help him in the election
Liberals are gearing up to tear down another innocent human.

Potential Trump Supreme Court pick Barrett known for conservative religious viewsIn considering Amy Coney Barrett for the U.S. Supreme Court, President Donald Trump has turned to a federal appellate judge known for conservative religious views who liberals worry could become instrumental in rolling back abortion rights. Barrett, if nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate Of course. Republicans ain’t gonna pick no liberal or moderate.
