DEATH
after the shooting to cover
the funeral costs and to
seek justice for Ledea
Chong, jam said.
In the page, they de-
scribe Ledea Chong as an
"amazing stepfather, and
an zing husband."
They said he often donated
money to causes dose to
his heart and "overall was
a happy soul."
Jam said Ledea Chong
had been struggling with
his diseases for some time
and had previously been
arrested. She said officers
had confiscated his guns.
Jam said Ledea Chong's
mother, Katta Chong, had
been given a "rescue"
number and told to call for
help in case Ledea Chong
"had another episode."
When he had an "episode"
this weekend, his mother
called the number and
asked that her son be taken
to a rehabilitation facility.
Arriving officers sur-
rounded the house and
pointed guns at Ledea
Chong, who was standing
by the door with a fanny
pack containing with his
keys, a rehab brochure and
screw driver, the Go-
FundMe page reads.
The GOFundMe page
goes on to say officers
"shot him outside of his
house as he ran inside of
tear to the bathroom to
grab something to help the
bleeding he ran to his room
dragging his body and
running and they shot him
to death in his room leav-
ing him deceased."
It also says that relatives
and loved ones of Ledea
Chong have video of his
home showing tracks of
blood on the Floor and the
bullets that show he "was
fighting for his life" and
how he bled out.

The deportation cases
filed in 2024 in Miami's
immigration court also
reflect South Florida's
demographics: Over half
involved Cubans and
Haitians.
The other top national-
ities so far this year: Vene-
zuelans, Guatemalans,
Nicaraguans and Col-
ombian.
There are three federal
immigration courts in
Florida. One is in
Downtown Miami. Anoth-
er located some 20
miles west at the Kmme
Detention Center, where
federal judges oversee
deained immigrants'
cases; the third is in Or-
lando.
After Texas, Florida has
the highest number of
notices to appear in the
current fiscal year, high-
lighting that the state
continues to be a magnet
for undocumented im-
migrants.
The new deportation
cases in Miami's krrtnigra-
don system raise ques-
tions about how judges
and court staffers will
handle the gargantuan
volume of cases.
There was a nationwide
backlog of 3.43 million
immigration cases
through February,
according to TRAC. Some
asylum seekers have told
the Herald that their fast
cowl hearings are sched-
uled several years in the
future.
Others haven't received
coup dates at all.
Miami's court has the
largest backlog, with over
291,000 cases. The new
proceedings filed this year
are likely to strain an
already fraught and un-
derresourced legal sys-
tem that doesn't have
enough judges to resolve
all cases in a timely man-

But the forensic evi-

Padilla to the shooting —
and a gun was reco-
vered, Achille's memo says
Information provided by
Assistant Public Defender
Tayron Lopez, who repre-
sented Padilla -Padilla, also
raised doubt as to whether
he was even in the U.S. at
the time, AchoOe said.
Lopez presented prose-
cutors with documentation
— including a birth certif-
icate, Mexican driver's
license and work regis-
tration from 2003 — that
shows Padilla -Padilla
wasn't in the country at the
time of the killing.
"Notably, based on the
documentation provided
by the defense Mr. Jose
Wilson Padilla was never
grown by the name Wilson
Padilla Diaz," Achlle said
in the document.
The records also show
that Padilla -Padilla entered
the US. in 2001 but was
later denied entry in 2005
and 2010, the memo
states. The Miami Herald
reached out to Lopez but
hadn't heard back as of
Friday afternoon.
In 2021, fingerprints
provided by U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforce-
ment turned out to be a
match to Padilla -Padilla,
cording to the police
reports. The investigation
also uncovered that PadO-
la-Paddta had applied for a
U.S. visa with a Honduran
passport — and had repeat-
edly entered the country,
being arrested and deport-
ed each time.

fifer our the nitrogen and
supply oxygen to the wa-
ter. But as wetlands dis-
appear because of devel-
opment, one of the Earth's
best natural cleaners goes
with it, Locke -Rodriguez
said.
Scientists across the
globe have been experi-
menting with "floating
wetlands," man-made
rafts housing native plants
that improve the water
quality and help restore
life to the ecosystem. In
Central Florida, the stare
and federal government
have poured millions into
stormwater treatment
wide swaths of
submerged plants that
clean the dirty water flow-
ing off Lake Okeechobee.
Researchers say these
nanue-based solutions are
necessary especially as
climate change is warning
the water.
When storms occur, the
water that passes through
farms and yards catches
the poop and fertilizer and
whatever else and brings it
into the canal. This can
cause algae blooms, which
can then cause fish kills.
Make it hotter, which
climate change is doing,
and there are even worse
effects.
"As we are dealing with
climate change, the pollu-
tants are getting into the
[erways. These floating
devices meet all ecolog-
ical, environmental and
economic ways of treating
the problem sustainably,"
said Knish layachandran,
an FIU professor of agroe-
cology and the project's
adviser.
It's important to main-
tain the Boating wetlands
for them to hold onto that
value. Most of the man-
made floaters use wetland
plants, and research has
found that they need to be
routinely harvested or the
plants die off, sink in the
water, and rot — returning
the nutrients they sucked
up to where they got
them.
But unlike in the Ever-
glades stormwater treat-
ment areas, this team has
novel use for the har-
vested plants: selling
them.
"If it's important to
harvest these plants reg-
ularly, and obviously it
an be labor intensive,
why don't we make use of
the harvest? Which caused
me to look for things that
have value to grow,"
Locke -Rodriguez said.
So that's why they chose
to grow what looks like
Easter flowers you'd see
fresh -cut at a Bower mar-
ket stand. If it all goes to
plan, thew project
wouldn't only pay for
itself but also be a part of
a profit -making business
in the largest import city
for ornamental Flowers in
the world.
"Miami is the place for
the Bower industry, and
year-round we can grow
these and make an in-
c an s," layachandr. said.
Locke -Rodriguez found-
ed a startup with this idea
in mind called Green
Thumb Strategies:
PhytoFlora, which has
support from the entrepre-
neur the Sea -
Worthy Collective. Their
idea was inspired by float-
ing farm practices like the
Aztecs' chinampas in
Mexico and the
Miccosukee tree island
settlements in Florida.
The in -field test site was
set up for 10 weeks in the
canals. The flowers were
First grown in a nursery
and then transferred on a
buoyant mat platform
ailed a Beemat. The

Marigolds growing in a test pool al Florida International University.
Beemat has rows of plant-
ing holes, and the plant's
roots protrude out the
bottom, long, clumped
and stringy Woe moss.
"That team can grow as
we grow, which 1 also
think is an exciting oppor-
tunity to create green
jobs," Locke -Rodriguez
said.
MORE TESTING TO DO
There is still a winding
path ahead in determining
the best flowers and float-
ing platforms to use and
getting county support to
employ them. And there
are still some kinks the
team is trying to work out,
too.
For instance, finding the
right spot for the project.
The team found that the
Coral Gables canal was
too salty for the flowers to
grow. And in the Little
River canal, where the
ressarchers did find some
fresh water, iguanas took
these petals as a tasty
snack before the flowers
could fully bloom — so
they might try adding a
net of sorts next time.
Locke -Rodriguez said
they are also looking for

more natural materials to
plant the Bowers in that
don't involve a plastic
mat. While research shows
the mat should hold up for
10 years and be recy-
clable, some people have
questions and concerns
about the plastic leaching.
In the first round of
tests, African marigolds
cleaned the water best.
The marigolds cleaned
52% more phosphorus and
36% more nitrogen than
what would be removed if
eft up to the slow -moving
natural process of nutrient
removal. But in subse-
quent tests the team
hasn't published yet, the
sunflowers and celosia
showed similar if not bet-
ter results, Locke -Rodri-
guez said.
They aren't exactly sure
why the marigolds per-
formed so well, but they
have some guesses. For
one, marigolds grow roots
from their stems, too,
which helps stabilize them
and could possibly mean
increased nutrient con-
sumption.
Locke -Rodriguez said
researchers would plant
their nursery -grown flow-
ers the waterways ac-
cording to the seasons
because the plants con-
sume more nutrients the
bigger they get. When it's
rainy season and run-off is
at its peak, they want the
Bowers to be at their peak
of growth, too.
"Think about it, babies
eat a little bit, and when
they get bigger and are
teenagers they're at their
peak eating the most, and
once they stop blooming,
they taper off," Locke -
Rodriguez said. "It's the
same
with flowers."
In those first four to six
weeks while the plants are
getting acquainted with
thew space and starting to
grow, they don't need as
much attention. But in
theory, teams be able to
go out once a week to
harvest the Bowers to sell.
"We have the protocol;
hopefully now Miami -
Dade county will say, 'Yes,
let's do this.'" Iayachan-
dran said. "We are looking
forward to a community
approach to get this go-
ing"

the funeral costs and to
seek justice for Ledea
Chong, lam said.
In the page, they de-
scribe Ledea Chong as an
"amazing stepfather, and
an zing husband."
They said he often donated
money to causes close to
his heart and "overall was
a happy soul."
tam said Ledea Chong
had been struggling with
his diseases for some time
and had previously been
arrested. She said officers
had conflated his gums.
tam said Ledea Chong's
mother, Katie Chong, had
been given a "rescue"
number and told to call for
help in case Ledea Chong
"had another episode."
When he had an "episode"
dtis weekend, his mother
called the number and
asked that her son be taken
to a rehabilitation facility.
Arriving officers sur-
rounded the houu and
pointed guns at Ledea
Chong, who was standing
by the door with a fanny
pack containing with his
keys, a rehab brochure and
screw driver, the Go-
FundMe page reads.
The GOFundMe page
goes on to say officers
"shot him outside of his
house as he ran inside of
fear to the bathroom to
grab something to help the
bleeding he ran to his room
dragging his body and
running and they shot him
to death in his room leav-
ing him deceased."
It also says that relatives
and loved ones of Ledea
Chong have video of his
home showing tracks of
blood on the floor and the
bullets that show he "was
fighting for his life" and
how he bled out.

INFLOW
The deportation cases
filed in 2024 in Miami's
immigration court also
reflect South Florida's
demographics: Over half
involved Cubans and
Haitians.
The other top national-
ities so far this year: Vene-
zuelans, Guatemalans,
Nicaraguans and Col-
ombians.
There are three federal
migration courts in
Florida. One is in
Downtown Miami. Anoth-
mis located some 20
iles west at the 4rome
Detention Center, where
federal judges oversee
detained immigrants'
cases; the third is in Or-
lando.
After Texas, Florida has
the highest number of
notices to appear in the
current fiscal year, high-
lighting that the state
continues to be a magnet
for undocumented im-
migrants.
The new deportation
cases in Miami's immigra-
tion system raise ques-
tions about how judges
and court staffers will
handle the gargantuan
volume of cases.
There was a nationwide
backlog of 3.43 million
nnmigntion cases
through February,
according to TRAC. Some
asylum seekers have told
the Herald that thew first
court hearings are sched-
uled several years in the
future.
Others haven't received
court dates at all.
Miami's court has the
largest backlog, with over
291,000 cases. The new
proceedings filed this year
are likely to strain an
already fraught and un-
der-resourced legal sys-
tem that doesn't have
enough judges to resolve
all cases in a timely man-
ner.

Information provided by
Assistant Public Defender
Tayron Lopez, who repre-

raised doubt as to whether
he was even in the U.S. at
the rime, Achille said.
Lopez presented prose-
cutors with documentation
— including a birth certif-
icate, Mexican driver's
license and work regis-
tration from 2003 — that
shows Padilla -Padilla
wasn't in the country at the
time of the killing.
"Notably, based on the
documentation provided
by the defense Mr. lose
Wilson Padilla was never
(mown by the name Wilson
Paddla Diax," Achille said
in the document.
The records also show
that Padilla -Padilla entered
the U.S. in 2001 but was
later denied entry in 2005
and 2010. the memo
:bates. The Miami Herald
reached out to Lopex but
hadn't heard back as of
Friday afternoon.
In 2021, fingerprints
provided by U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforce-
ment tumed out to be a
match to Padilla -Padilla,
according to the police
reports The investigation
also uncovered that Padil-
la -Padilla had applied for a
U.S. visa with a Honduran
passport — and had repeat-
edly entered the country,
being arrested and deport-
ed each time.
