Browerd: Branches @DavldJNral Lobbyist Melton sentenced to 1-1/2 years for failing to pay taxes BY MC WEAVER preaserenameerale.aom For decades Eston "Dusty" Melton 1I1 was among the go -to lobbyists in Miami -Dade. He had contacts throughout the county and made millions in fees. But his world of influ- ence, power and money faded away on Tuesday when Melton was sen- tenced to 1-1/2 years after having pleaded guilty in February to income-tax evasion over the span of a decade. The lobbyist and his defense lawyer were hop- ing for home confinement as punishment, while a prosecutor argued that 2-1/2 years would be just during a hearing in West Palm Beach federal court. U.S. District Judge Rob- in Rosenberg compro- mised on his prison time, then ordered Melton to pay about 51.74 million in back taxes, interest and penalties to the Internal Revenue Service. He must surrender to federal prison on Nov. 17. "Your honor, I stand before you a broken, hu- miliated man," Melton, 71, told Rosenberg. "Everything I have worked for my entire life — to be professionally respected and successful, to be able to provide for my family, and to enjoy the twilight years of my life with dignity — is com- pletely shattered. "I can never recover or achieve any of that. And I have absolutely no one to blame but myself." According to court re- cords filed with his plea agreement, Melton failed to pay about 51.3 million in taxes from 2005 to 2014, and those debts with penalties and interest grew to about S1.7 million by 2019, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Osborne. The lobbyist, who had represented blue-chip clients in Miami -Dade and Palm Beach counties for more than 40 years, dodged the IRS's efforts to collect his taxes, Osbome said. He noted that Melton delayed the sale of his Coconut Grove home for years, put a West Palm Beach residence in his wife's name, and trans- ferred his clients from his principal lobbying busi- ness to another controlled by the wife, Mabelys, to help shield himself from the IRS. But during Tuesday's hearing, a prominent Mia- mi defense attomey, Rob- ert Josefsberg, spoke about Melton's pro bono lobbying work for non- profit groups and his as- sistance to state and fed- eral public corruption prosecutors over the span of his career. Both Melton and his wife, who once worked as a chief of staff for two Miami -Dade commission- ers, are registered as lob- byists with the Miami - Dade County. Together, records show, they have about 20 clients, including the University of Miami, Restore Miami Marine Stadium and Super Yellow Cab. BACK TAXES Melton told the Miami Herald that he paid back more than half of his origi- nal tax debts since selling his Coconut Grove home in April 2018. Melton said he believes he still owes about $600,000 in taxes from his income over a decade as the owner of the lobby- ing firm, Global Projects, Inc. But the exact out- standing debt must still be worked out with the IRS. During a mid -January interview with the Miami Herald, Melton took full responsibility for his mis- conduct, recounting how he chose to pay family debts, including substan- tial college tuition pay- ments for his four chil- dren, instead of his taxes to the IRS. Melton, who is repre- sented by defense at- torney Michael Rosen, highlighted those same points at his sentencing on Tuesday. "1 took care of my fam- ily first and decided that 1 would deal with the IRS at Dusty Melton was sentenced to 1-V2 years in prison and ordered to pay 51.7 million in Income taxes. a later date," Melton told the judge, reading from a statement "That day has come." He also said that his crime has taken a heavy toll on his lobbying busi- ness. "Because 1 elevated my criminal case into the corset of public opinion, some clients of our family consulting business have abandoned us," he said. "New clients are unlikely. This is devastating to my family's future. And it's all my fault, for which I am devastated and as re- morseful as any person could possibly be." Melton, who graduated from the University of Virginia before joining the Miami Herald as a govern- ment reporter in 1979, detoured into the lobbying profession in 1982 when he was hued by mega - county lobbyist Steve Ross, whose political con- nections were legend. When Ross died 13 years later, Melton acquired his late partner's lucrative lobbying business. The clients continued to roll in, and so did the income. DIDN'T PAY TAXES FOR 10 YEARS But starting in 2005, Melton admitted that he stopped paying his taxes for a full decade —despite filing complete annual returns to the IRS. He said that among about 52.5 million in per- sonal expenses were: ali- mony payments to his ex-wife; child support for his three children from that marriage; college tuition for Nose children and an adopted son; and legal fees for defending the adopted son, Mario Melton, who was sen- tenced to 2-1/2 years in prison after being convict- ed in a 2016 Miami feder- al trial of importing the dub drug "Molly" from China. FILES CHAPTER 11 TO PROTECT GROVE HOME As he paid off his family debts, Melton said he feared he was going to lose his home at 3430 Poinciana Ave. in Coconut Grove. IRS tax liens pied up. He had only paid off S62,100 of his tax bill, according to court records. To avoid losing his home, Melton filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2017. Under Chapter 11, creditors, including the IRS, cannot take your primary residence to satis- fy debts. In 2018, he sold the home for 51.358 million, according to county re- cords. Most of that money as spent on his family debts, but Melton also made a payment of $553,093 toward his tax obligation to the IRS, records show. Melton said that since 2014, he has made annual tax payments based on 30% of his income through 2023 — but about half of his old tax debts remained unpaid. But it is apparent that the fallout from not paying his income taxes for so many years — leading to criminal conviction and prison sentence — weighs heavy / on his conscience. "Although I am so very grateful for friends who have expressed as well as utter shock - it's palpable that 1 am persona on grata among many, many more former friends who have made clear they wish to have nothing more to do with me. "1 am crushed by what I have done to my family and friends, absolutely tormented." Jay Weaver: 305-376-3446, @jayhwcaver FROM PAGE RA GIMENEZ lockdowns and a use of force incident in April. "I've seen some in- mates just sit there and cry." one officer told the Herald during the in- vestigation. "Some cry all day. Grown men, just crying." Gimenez did not speak to any detainees during his tom. But he said he witnessed them playing games, watching televi- sion and eating meals. "They knew who 1 was, and nobody said 'Oh wow, this is really bad," he said. He toured sever- al units, and saw show- ers, a cafeteria, and an outdoor recreation area. Detainees have access to emails and phones, he said. "This is not the Ritz - Carlton. It's a detention center. But there's noth- ing inhumane that's go- ing on," said the Cuban - American lawmaker. He told reporters that an FDC employee he spoke with described a broken elevator and "disrepair." 'SEND US BACK' According to Gimenez, FDC Miami officials said about 40 detainees began refusing orders, knocking down sprinkler systems and trying to rip out toi- lets in the incident that happened in April. "They had to use force to sub- due them," he said, of the facility's officers. He said no detainees were taken to the hospital. In response to the incident, he said, officials changed "some of their proce- dures." In interviews and mul- tiple lawsuits, detainees said that officers de- ployed crowd -control grenades and what ap- peared to be rubber pel- lets in a crowded room on April I5. Detainees bad flooded the cell to protest a lack of food, water and medication. Six detainees who were present during the in- cident said they had been waiting to be processed for hours, after they were transferred that day from nearby Krome North Service Processing Cen- ter, and grew desperate. They were hungry and thirsty and some of them needed daily medications to be administered on time. In one lawsuit signed by 24 detainees related to the incident, a man wrote that they were yelling for hours for "basic needs" of food, water and med- icine, and flooded the cell and grew "comba- tive." Diego Rafael Medina Rodriguez, 26, said that he got hit by "rubber bullets coming from the explosion of concussion grenades," suffered pain in his wrists from being tightly handcuffed for hours, and was amble to sleep as the incident worsened previous PTSD from his experience dur- ing protests in Venezuela. "1t telt like we were being tortured," Medina Rodriguez wrote. "All we did was flood the floor to calf for attention because they were not paying attention to our basic needs." Medina Rodriguez wrote that before the use of force was deployed, an officer asked the detai- nees for thew "de- mands." "Send us back," he recalled another detainee responding. "There's no reason why we got trans- ferred to a Federal Prison to be treated as prisoners when we are ICE detai- nees. We should be at an Immigration Facility." The lawsuits were dis- missed due to procedural issues after the detainees filed them independ- ently. KROME IS NEXT In February, ICE signed a contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house immigrants in civil detention in federal prisons and jails, accom- modating for the ramp up of immigration enforce- ment under the Trump administration. But ad- vocates and lawyers said that the United States prison system - which is understaffed and riddled with reports of poor con- ditions and abuse - is not a suitable place for detai- nees in immigration pro- ceedings In recent months, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Frederica Wil- son, and Sheila Cheri -Bus - McCormick have visited Krome North Service Processing Center and the Broward Transitional Center, other South Flor- ida facilities holding ICE detainees. The Demo- cratic lawmakers have been vocal critics of con- ditions at the center in the wake of overcrowding and detainee deaths in South Florida. In January and Febru- ary, two men died after they had been detained at Krome. While the au- topsies were ruled nat- ural deaths, the Herald foand reports of questionable medical past four months, with treatment. In April, a men sleeping on the Haitian woman died at foor. BTC. "I have to visit Krome Gimenez said he next to see what's going on plans to tour Krome De- with my eyes," said Gi- tention Center, an ICE menez. facility that falls within his district.

Arnie Drill raised a similar point, wondering how different religions can overcome the idea that there is one true belief sty"Do we reads a point... where it gets to the ex- treme point that it now becomes a negative in our society?" he asked.

Hannon Clerk of the Board MO$L1Y Mt 112025 I MIAMI HERALD 9A FROM PAGE U DETENTION illegally in Florida. Nationally, nearly half of detainees in ICE custo- dy as of late June were being held for immigra- tion violations, which are generally treated as civil offenses, and did not have criminal canvidtiom or charges, according to data from Syracuse University. Polls have shown that American voters support the deportation of crimi- nals but are less support- ive of the arrest and de- tention of otherwise law- abiding undocumented immigrants. South Flor- ida's congressional repre- sentatives have caned on the Trump administration to be more compassionate in its efforts to round up and deport immigrants with status issues. "That place is supposed- ly for the worst criminals in the US.," said Walter Jan, the nephew of a 56-year-old Nicaraguan man taken to the facility after a traffic stop in Palm Beach County. The list obtained by the Herald/ Times stares that his un- cle, Denis Alcides Solis Morales, has immigration violations and makes no mention of convictions or pending criminal charges. Jars said his uncle arrived here legally in 2023 under a humanitarian parole program and has a pend- ing asylum case. Reporters sent the list to officials at the Depart- ment of Homeland Sxvri- ty and US. Immigration and Customs Enforce- ment. In a statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the ab- sence of a criminal charge in the U.S. doesn't mean migrants detained at the site have clean hands. "Many of the individu- als that are counted as on -criminals' are actual- ly terrorists, human rights abusers, gangsters and mom; they just don't have a rap sheet in the U.S.," McLaughlin told the Her- ald/Times. "Further, ev- ery single one of these individuals committed a crime when they came into this country illegally. It is not an accurate de- scription to say they are `non-crkninala.' " McLaughlin said that the Trump administration is "putting the American people fast by removing illegal aliens who pose a threat to our communi- ties" and that "70% of ICE arrests have been of criminal illegal aliens with convictions or pending charges." She added that the state of Florida, not ICE, over- sees the Everglades facil- ity, an argument echoed in court by Thomas P. Giles, a top federal official in- volved in enforcement and removal operations. "The ultimate decision of who to detain" at Alli- gator Alcatraz "belongs to Florida," he wrote as part of the federal govern- ment's response to a law- suit challenging the deten- tion facility on environ- mental grounds. A spokesperson for ICE referred reporters to Flor- ida's Division of Emergen- cy Management, which oversees the detention facility. The Florida agen- cy did not respond to a request for comment MIXED POPULATION The records offer a glimpse into who is being sent to Alligator Alcatraz. The network of trailers and tents built on an air- field off US. Highway 41, has been operating for a little more than a week It is already housing about 750 immigrant detainees, a figure that state officials shared with Democratic state Sen. Carlos Guiller- mo -Smith, one of several n ^ "" "m U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida's 10h Congressional District speaks at a news conference Saturday after congressional and state lawmakers toured Alligator Alcatraz. Florida lawmakers who toured the site on Sat- urday. The records obtained by the Herald% Times show that Everglades detainees are from roughly 40 coun- tries. Immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba make up about half the list. Ages range from 18 to 73. One person is listed as being from the United Stater. Reporters were unable to locate his family or a lawyer repre- senting him. Lawmakers who visited the facility Saturday said they saw detainees wear- ing wristbands that state officials explained were meant to classify the se- verity of their civil or criminal violations. The colors included yellow, orange and red — with yellow being less severe infractions and red mean- ing more severe offenses, said state Rep. Anna Eska- mani, D-Orlando. When the detention facility opened on July 1, President Donald Trump visited the she and said it would soon house "some of the most vicious people on the planet" The state has refused to make public a roster of detainees at Alligator Alcatraz, instead offering selective information about who is being de- tained there. On Friday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier's office released to Fox News the names of six men convict- ed of crimes, and later to the Herald/Times on request The charges against the men — all included on the list ob- tained by the Herald/ Times — ranged in sever- ity from murder to bur- glaey. "This gaup of murder- ers, rapists, and gang members are just a small sample of doe deranged psychopaths that Florida is helping President Trump and his administration remove from ourcun- try," Uthmeiees spokes- man, Jeremy Redfern, said in a statement One of those men is Jose Fortin, 46, a Hondu- ran who was arrested in 2017 on a charge of at- tempted murder. Records show Fortin was deported to his home country in August 2019. A month later, he reentered the U.S. illegally. He was picked up in Texas. Gov. Ron DeSantis and Trump have said the de- tention center is creating more space to house un- documented immigrants who otherwise "mild have to be released. Another man, Luis Don- aldo Corado, was convict- ed of burglary and petty theft after he was accused of being a "peeping tom" — watching a woman through her apartment window in Coral Gables. And Eddy Lopes Jemot, a 57-yearold Cuban, was accused of killing a wom- an and setting her house on fire in Key Largo in 2017. The state dropped homicide charges against him in a plea deal this year and convicted him of arson. But other detaineeshave lesser charges —such as traffic violations, accord- ing to lawyers and family members. A lawyer told the Herald/Times that her client was detained by immigration agents after a routine check -in at an ICE field office. Some are asylum seekers. Solis Morales, 56, the Nicaraguan mentioned earlier, ended up in Alliga- tor Alcatraz after be was detained on his way to a construction job in Pabn Beach County on July 1, said Jara, his nephew. He was a passenger in a pick- up that was pulled over by the Florida Highway Pa- trol for an unsecured load, Jan told the Herald/ Times on Saturday. Solis Morales arrived in the U.S. from Nicaragua in 2023 under humanitarian parole and has a pending asylum case, Jere said. Miami immigration attomey Regina de Mo- raes said she's represent- ing a 37-yearold Brazilian man being held at Alliga- tor Alcatraz who entered the US. lawfully on a tourist visa in 2022 and then applied for asylum, which is pending. She said the man, who has a five-year work per- mit and owes a solar panel business in the Orlando area, was arrested on a DUI charge in 2024. While he was attending a probation hearing on June 3, he was detained by the Orange County Sheriffs Office, which is participa- ting in a federal immigra- tion program (mown as 287(g). He was transferred to Alligator Alcatraz on Thursday, according to information provided to her by the man's sister. De Moraes said she doesn't understand why the Brazilian was trans- ferred to the state -oper- ated detention facility in the Everglades. She asked the Herald/Times not to identify her client "He's not subject to mandatory detention and he's not subject to remov- al because he has a pend- ing asylum application," de Maraca told the Her- ald/Tones. "He has one DUI and he's not a threat to others. This is ridicu- lous. This is a waste of time and money.... He's not the kind of person they should be picking up." "They should be picking up people with sexual battery or armed robbery records," de Mopes said.

Caballero administers the oath of office to newly elected city of Miami District 4 Commissioner Ralph 'Rafael' Rosado at Miami City Hall on June 10. FROM PAGE IA ROSADO been — and will continue to be — serving the people of our community." MAYOR OUTSPENT CAROLLO Suarei a political com- mittee spent more than double what Carollo's spent, according to the reports. The mayor's PAC, Miami for Everyone, re- ported $1.1 million in expenditures for the months of April, May and June. The bulk of that money — $900,000 — was given directly to Rondo's politi- cal committee, Citizens for Ethics in Govemment. Additionally, $170,000 was spent on firms tied to Rosado's campaign man- ager, Jesse Manzano- Plaza, for political con- sulting, phone banking, polling, data research and canvassing. Manzano- Plaza has also managed Suarez's campaigns in the past. "I'm proud to have supported Ralph Rosado in the City Commission District 4 race," Suarez said in a statement to the Herald. "Ralph is a ded- icated public servant I have known for many years, going back to when he ran for that same seat in 2017. Ralph represents the new kind of lead- ership our city needs — prindpled, independent, and focused on results. I look forward to working alongside him to move Miami forward." The mayor did not di- rectly respond to a ques- tion asking why he decid- ed to spend such a signif- icant sum on the race, nor did he say whether he has any expectations of Rosa - do in light of that seven - figure spending. Caenlo's political com- mittee, Miami Dust, re- ported spending $547,000 in the second quarter. The majority of that money — over $420,000 — was spent on radio and television ads, according to the report, and $86,000 was spent on mailers and printing alone. In explaining why his PAC spent a half -million dollars, Carona told the Herald that polling initial- ly showed Rosado down by 25 percentage points. Caroler said that factor, combined with the fact that the special election took place over a truncat- ed six -week timeline, meant extraordinary ef- forts were needed "to win a campaign that no one else thought was win- nable." Otherwise, Carolo said, "You couldn't win in such a short time going after such a known name like the Regalados." REGALADO SPENDING Meanwhile, the PAC supporting Regaled° spent a fraction of what Carono and Sauna invested in Rosado's campaign. 3th ami3kral' Receive the least updates on recently passed loved ones.
