VANDALISM
HISTORIC PALMETTO
CEMETERY
VANDALIZED
Old Memphis Cemetery
is tied to Palmetto's his-
toric Memphis neigh-
borhood, which was origi-
nally plotted in 1904,
according to a state his-
torical marker at the site.
The marker says the cem-
etery became the final
resting place of many
Black residents, many of
whom worked in the ar-
c's farming fields, groves
and packing houses. The
cemetew came under the
care of Manatee County
in1988, according to the
marker.
Manatee officials say
they are now working to
repair the damaged grave -
sites.
"The county is currently
coordinating with a spe-
cialized contractor to
assess and repair the dam-
aged grave sites and is
also evaluating additional
cunity measures for the
n," Manatee County
government spokesperson
Michael Simile told the
Bradenton Herald in an
email. "Repairs are ex-
pected to be scheduled as
soon as possible."
The investigation re-
mains active and no ar-
rests have been made,
according to the sheriff's
office.
Anyone with informa-
tion about the vandalism
is asked to contact in-
vestigators at 941-747-
3011. Anonymous tips can
also be submitted to Ma-
natee County Crane Stop-
pers at 866-634-TIPS or
through Manatee0nime
Stoppers.com, where tip-
sters may be eligible for a
cash reward.
CrnneStoppers of Ma-
natee County is offering a
'ward of up to $3,000
for information leading to
an nest, while the Gold
Star nClub of Manatee
County is offering an
additional $1,000 reward,
according to the sheriffs
office.

BM" The Old Memphis Cemetery in Palmetto, shown here on May 12,was the target of
apparent vandals who smashed graves, headstones and spray -painted. Several people
were walking through the graves to see if their loved ones' graves were damaged.

money. I mean, you know,
even at the low end of the
offers, we're talking about
half a billion dollars (for
overall Everglades fund-
ing)," Senate Agriculture,
Environment and General
Government Appropri-
ations Committee Chair -
an Jason Brodeur told
reporters Thursday eve-
ning.
n As part of negotiations
in the special session,
which began Tuesday and
is expected to last just
under three weeks, unre-
solved conference com-
mittee negotiations are to
be handed off Friday af-
ternoon to Senate Appro-
priations Chairman Ed
Hooper, R-Trinity, and
House Budget Chairman
Lawrence McClure, R-
Dov
In his proposed budget,
Gov. Ron DeSantis recom-
mended more than$810
million for Everglades
restoration projects, in-
cluding $681 million for
the Comprehensive Ever-
glades Restoration Plan.
Brodeur said the num-
bers are all getting closer.
"If you watch the pmg-
pong, back -and -forth, at
some point we're going to
get pretty close to where
we're going to land," Bro-
deur said.
Talks involving agricul-
lure and environmental
programs gave the strug-
gling citrus induslly a lock
on $4.4 million for a citrus
health response program.
But the Senate wants
$179.5 million for citrus
research and $15 million
for citrus nursery and
packing infrastructure.
The House countered with
$9 minion for research
and $5 million for the
nursew and packing infra-
structure.
Brodeur, a Sanford
Republican, said there
have been signs of success
against the Iwo -decade
plight of citrus greening
disease, through treat-
ments and resistance
found in the Donaldson
sweet orange v piety.
"We want to continue to
help make sure that Flor-
ida is a place where we're
known for citrus," Bro-
deur said. "And with this
new program, we have a
chance for recovery."
Meanwhile, the cham-
bers remain split on oyster
restoration funding, with
the House pushing for
$22.1 million and the Sen-
ate sticking at $2.1 million.

Apalachicola Bay and the
Big Bend region.
The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission this year
ended a five-year ban on
oyster harvesting in some
parts of Northwest Flor-
ida's Apalachicola Bay.
The BWC has estimated
that restoration goals for
the bay will annually re-

d $55 million
Both chambers have a
$200 11 baseline for
conservation
through the D-p t - t
ofApiculture and Con-
sumer Services' Rural and
Family Lands Protection
Program. Rather than
acquning the land, ease-
ments allow existing agri-
cultural operations to
continue in exchange for
es0'ictmg future land
development.
But the House wants
another $75 million for
the Rural and Family
Lands Protection Pro-
gram, which the Senate
did not match.
The Senate's latest offer
included $75 million for
the historic Florida For-
ever land program, which
does make conservation
land purchases, with the
House at $25 million.
Brodeur said the Florida
Forever program under
the Depanvnent of Ennv-
entalProtection has
money unspent from the

draw additional money for
maintenance and manage-

Delays in visa program threaten
placement of hundreds of doctors in U.S.
BY ARIELLEMNTS
NU Health News
Hundreds of foreign
doctors about to complete
training in the O.S. will
have to leave the country
if the federal government
doesn't rapidly process
their visa waiver applica-
tions, which have been
languishing since the fall
and winter, immigration
attorneys say.
The waiver program,
run by the Department of
Health and Human Serv-
e, allows physicians
who aren't O.S. citizens to
stay in the country while
transitionmg from the visa
they used during their
training to temporary
worker stars. In ex-
change, the doctors agree
to work in underse1Ved
areas for at lease three
yea
"It will be the patients
that suffer the most be-
cause 1about three
months, there's going to
be hundreds of places that
are not going to have a
physician that should
have," said a psychiatrist
caught in the delay.
The doctor — whom
ICE? Health News agreed
not to identify because
they fear government
reprisal —was among
hundreds who applied this
year for a J-1 visa waiver
through the NHS Ex-
change Visitor Program.
If they receive one, the
psychiatrist — who attend-
ed medical school in their
home country in Europe
before Coming to the O.S.
for their residency and
fellowship — would work
with vulnerable and disad-
vantaged patients in New
York.
In recent years, the HITS
program reviewed waiver
applications in one to
three weeks, according to
two immigration attor-
neys.
But it currently has a
backlog of hundreds of
applications, which still
need to be reviewed by
the State Department and
approved by O.S. Citizen-
ship and Immigration
Services, according to four
attorneys interviewed by
IC?? Health News.
They said the foreign
physicians will likely have
to return to their home
undies if then applica-
tions don't advance to
USCIS by July 30.
For them to reenter the
U.S., then employers
would have to pay a new
$100,000 fee associated
with the 11-1B work visa.
It's a cost that many hos-
pitals and clinics in rural
and underserved areas say
they can't afford. `That's
the cliff that this tram is
headed for," said Charles
Wintersteen, a Chicago -
based attorney who spe-
cializes in health work-
force -related immigration.
NITS spokesperson Emi-
ly Hilliard didn't answer
questions about the num-
ber of pending applica-
tions or explain what
used the delays. But she
said the Exchange Visitor
Program has reviewed all
fiscal year 2025 clinical J-1
waiver applications, as
well as some from fiscal
2026.
The department is "im-
plementing key process
improvements to prevent
future delays" and "work-
ing diligently" to evaluate
remaining applications
ahead of the July 30 dead-
line, she said.
The psychiatrist in lim-
bo said employers hiring
J-1 waiver physicians have
to show they were unable
to fill positions with Amer-
ican workers. Ifthe doc-
tors they planned to hire
can't arrive on time — or
at all patients will have
to wait even longer for
those vacancies to be
filled, they said.
Wintersteen said post-
graduate medical educa-
tion positions are largely
funded through Medicare
and that "the taxpayers
who pay for that training
will not get the benefit of
it"
Physicians and im-
migration attorneys said
NHS hasn't explained the
delays or lee them know
what to expect from then
applications.
"Why would ?Ilia want
to take a program that is
working -- a program that
places hundreds of O.S.
trained international phy-
sicians
in highly under -
served parts of the country
very year — and slow -
walk it into non-exist-
ence," Jennifer Minear, a
Virginia -based health
workforcemigration
lawyer, said in an email.
"How does that serve the
public health? It is baf-
fling"

particularly in chronically
understaffed facilities in
rural and low-income
urban communities.
Nearly aquart r of
physicians in the O.S.
went to medical school
outside the O.S. or Cana-
da, according to 2025
licensing data.
Once noncitizens com-
plete postgraduate educa-
tion in the U.S., which
typically ends on June 30,
they must return to their
home country and wait
two years before applying
for an II-1B work visa. Or,
they can seek a J-1 waiver,
which lees them remain in
the U.S. on II-IB status in
exchange for working for
three years in a provider
shortage area.
The attorneys said
they're seeing delays only
in the Exchange Visitor
Program, not in the other
federal or state J-1 waiver
programs.
The NHS clinical care
program received 750
waiver applications last
year, Minear and Winter-
steen said, and is reserved
for doctors working in
pediatrics, psychiatry,
family and internal med-
r obstetrics and
gynecology.
The program typically
needs to forward recom-
mendations to the State
Department by mid -
March, according to a
letter from John Whyte,
CEO of the American
Medical Association.
Minear said NHS
stopped processing appli-
cations in late September
or early October before it
started forwarding them
again a few months ago.
"But the pace is dramat-
ically slower" than usual,
she said.
Minear said the State
Department usually takes
two or three months to
review NHS recommenda-
tions and must send them
to USCIS before July 30
for most of the doctors to
stay in the country.
If they don't make that
deadline, Wintersteen
said, doctors will have to
leave the country unless
they obtain another kind
of visa, get a J-1 waiver
through another program,

visa by taking board ex-
ams or doing additional

training.
The psychiatrist, who is
supposed to start work on
July 1, said they applied
for nin order to
stay inwaiver
the U.S with their
partner, and because it
would lee them help the
most vulnerable mental
health patients. They said
their future clients would
likely include trafficking
survivors, homeless peo-
ple, and prison or jail in-
mates. "That's the pop-
ulation I want to work
with," they said.

they said. "By definition,
for the most part, they're

Barry Walker, an at-

sissippi, focused on health
workforce -related im-
migration, said employers
have already spent money
on recruiters and attor-
neys like him to help with
the waiver pro
Adding the 11 1B fee is

hospitals," he said.
Attorneys said most
employers will sponsor
physicians in need of an
11-1B visa only if they're in
lucrative specialties, such
as cardiology or orthope-
dics, in which they can
recover the cost of the fee.
They said healthcare
facilities are much less
likely to pay the fee to hire
foreign nurses, lab tech-
nicians,and other health -
are professionals who are
ore likely than physi-
cians to complete then'

Employers can request

heard of a hospital or
clinic being granted one.
FIGHTING ON
TWO FRONTS
Physicians, hospital
leaders, lawmakers, and
migration experts are
trying to draw attention to
the J-1 waiver delays at
11116 while hoping to over-
turn or limit the new 11-1B
fee.
The Trump adminis-
nation hasn't acted on
letters from hospitals,
medical societies, and
rural health organizations
that requested an excep-
tion to the $100,000 fee
for physicians or all
healthcare workers.
In March, a bipartisan
group of lawmakers in-
troduced a bill that would
n'eate a healthcare ex-
emption. It has not yet
had a hearing.
At lease three lawsuits —
from the O.S. Chamber of
Commerce, a group of 20
states, and a coalition of
plaintiffs that includes a
company that recruits
foreign nurses and a union
that represents medical
graduates —are seeking to
end the fee entirely.
As for the J-1 waiver
delays, the American
Medical Association CEO
asked the Exchange Vis-
itor Program to use
"emergency batch pro -
sing" for physicians
with contracts to start
work this summer.
Efr0n Manjarrez, presi-
dent of the Society of
Hospital Medicine, which
represents doctors who
work in inpatient units,
also called for emergency
measures. "Every day this backlog
persists is a day that hos-
pitalized patients in these
communities face greater
000," he wrote in a letter
to the program.
Meanwhile, Canadian
hospitals have been
recruiting foreign physi-
cians their
training in the U.S, the
psychiatrist said. They
said one of their friends
accepted an offer, with-
drawing their NHS waiver
application to head north.
The psychiatrist said if
they must leave the U.S.,
they'll be separated from
their partner and out of a
job for months as they
work to get licensed in
their home country.
Even if their employer
were able to afford the
111E fee, they're not sure
they'd want to return.
"This entire process has
been so innedibly painful
and just soul -Hushing,"
they said. "I would rather
go to a country that would
appreciate my motivation
to work with patients."

Delays in visa program threaten
placement of hundreds of doctors in U.S.
BY ARIELLEMNTS
NU Health News
Hundreds of foreign
doctors about to complete
training in the O.S. will
have to leave the country
if the federal government
doesn't rapidly process
their visa waiver applica-
tions, which have been
languishing since the fall
and winter, immigration
attorneys say.
The waiver program,
run by the Department of
Health and Human Serv-
e, allows physicians
who aren't O.S. citizens to
stay in the country while
transitionmg from the visa
they used during their
training to temporary
worker stars. In ex-
change, the doctors agree
to work in underse1Ved
areas for at lease three
yea
"It will be the patients
that suffer the most be-
cause 1about three
months, there's going to
be hundreds of places that
are not going to have a
physician that should
have," said a psychiatrist
caught in the delay.
The doctor — whom
ICE? Health News agreed
not to identify because
they fear government
reprisal —was among
hundreds who applied this
year for a J-1 visa waiver
through the NHS Ex-
change Visitor Program.
If they receive one, the
psychiatrist — who attend-
ed medical school in their
home country in Europe
before Coming to the O.S.
for their residency and
fellowship — would work
with vulnerable and disad-
vantaged patients in New
York.
In recent years, the HITS
program reviewed waiver
applications in one to
three weeks, according to
two immigration attor-
neys.
But it currently has a
backlog of hundreds of
applications, which still
need to be reviewed by
the State Department and
approved by O.S. Citizen-
ship and Immigration
Services, according to four
attorneys interviewed by
IC?? Health News.
They said the foreign
physicians will likely have
to return to their home
undies if then applica-
tions don't advance to
USCIS by July 30.
For them to reenter the
U.S., then employers
would have to pay a new
$100,000 fee associated
with the 11-1B work visa.
It's a cost that many hos-
pitals and clinics in rural
and underserved areas say
they can't afford. `That's
the cliff that this tram is
headed for," said Charles
Wintersteen, a Chicago -
based attorney who spe-
cializes in health work-
force -related immigration.
NITS spokesperson Emi-
ly Hilliard didn't answer
questions about the num-
ber of pending applica-
tions or explain what
used the delays. But she
said the Exchange Visitor
Program has reviewed all
fiscal year 2025 clinical J-1
waiver applications, as
well as some from fiscal
2026.
The department is "im-
plementing key process
improvements to prevent
future delays" and "work-
ing diligently" to evaluate
remaining applications
ahead of the July 30 dead-
line, she said.
The psychiatrist in lim-
bo said employers hiring
J-1 waiver physicians have
to show they were unable
to fill positions with Amer-
ican workers. Ifthe doc-
tors they planned to hire
can't arrive on time — or
at all patients will have
to wait even longer for
those vacancies to be
filled, they said.
Wintersteen said post-
graduate medical educa-
tion positions are largely
funded through Medicare
and that "the taxpayers
who pay for that training
will not get the benefit of
it"
Physicians and im-
migration attorneys said
NHS hasn't explained the
delays or lee them know
what to expect from then
applications.
"Why would ?Ilia want
to take a program that is
working -- a program that
places hundreds of O.S.
trained international phy-
sicians
in highly under -
served parts of the country
very year — and slow -
walk it into non-exist-
ence," Jennifer Minear, a
Virginia -based health
workforcemigration
lawyer, said in an email.
"How does that serve the
public health? It is baf-
fling"

nurses, technicians, and
other health providers,
particularly in chronically
understaffed facilities in
rural and low-income
urban communities.
Nearly aquart r of
physicians in the O.S.
went to medical school
outside the O.S. or Cana-
da, according to 2025
licensing data.
Once noncitizens com-
plete postgraduate educa-
tion in the U.S., which
typically ends on June 30,
they must return to their
home country and wait
two years before applying
for an II-1B work visa. Or,
they can seek a J-1 waiver,
which lees them remain in
the U.S. on II-IB status in
exchange for working for
three years in a provider
shortage area.
The attorneys said
they're seeing delays only
in the Exchange Visitor
Program, not in the other
federal or state J-1 waiver
programs.
The NHS clinical care
program received 750
waiver applications last
year, Minear and Winter-
steen said, and is reserved
for doctors working in
pediatrics, psychiatry,
family and internal med-
r obstetrics and
gynecology.
The program typically
needs to forward recom-
mendations to the State
Department by mid -
March, according to a
letter from John Whyte,
CEO of the American
Medical Association.
Minear said NHS
stopped processing appli-
cations in late September
or early October before it
started forwarding them
again a few months ago.
"But the pace is dramat-
ically slower" than usual,
she said.
Minear said the State
Department usually takes
two or three months to
review NHS recommenda-
tions and must send them
to USCIS before July 30
for most of the doctors to
stay in the country.
If they don't make that
deadline, Wintersteen
said, doctors will have to
leave the country unless
they obtain another kind
of visa, get a J-1 waiver
through another program,
rextend then current
visa by taking board ex-
ams or doing additional

training.
The psychiatrist, who is
supposed to start work on
July 1, said they applied
for nin order to
stay inwaiver
the U.S with their
partner, and because it
would lee them help the
most vulnerable mental
health patients. They said
their future clients would
likely include trafficking
survivors, homeless peo-
ple, and prison or jail in-
mates. "That's the pop-
ulation I want to work
with," they said.

they said. "By definition,

Barry Walker, an at-

migration, said employers

neys like him to help with

Adding the 11 1B fee is

Attorneys said most
employers will sponsor
physicians in need of an

lucrative specialties, such
as cardiology or orthope-
dics, in which they can

facilities are much less

nicians,and other health -
are professionals who are

cians to complete then'

Employers can request

clinic being granted one.
FIGHTING ON
TWO FRONTS
Physicians, hospital
leaders, lawmakers, and
migration experts are
trying to draw attention to
the J-1 waiver delays at
11116 while hoping to over-
turn or limit the new 11-1B
fee.
The Trump adminis-
nation hasn't acted on
letters from hospitals,
medical societies, and
rural health organizations
that requested an excep-
tion to the $100,000 fee
for physicians or all
healthcare workers.
In March, a bipartisan
group of lawmakers in-
troduced a bill that would
n'eate a healthcare ex-
emption. It has not yet
had a hearing.
At lease three lawsuits —
from the O.S. Chamber of
Commerce, a group of 20
states, and a coalition of
plaintiffs that includes a
company that recruits
foreign nurses and a union
that represents medical
graduates —are seeking to
end the fee entirely.
As for the J-1 waiver
delays, the American
Medical Association CEO
asked the Exchange Vis-
itor Program to use
"emergency batch pro -
sing" for physicians
with contracts to start
work this summer.
Efr0n Manjarrez, presi-
dent of the Society of
Hospital Medicine, which
represents doctors who
work in inpatient units,
also called for emergency
measures. "Every day this backlog
persists is a day that hos-
pitalized patients in these
communities face greater
000," he wrote in a letter
to the program.
Meanwhile, Canadian
hospitals have been
recruiting foreign physi-
cians their
training in the U.S, the
psychiatrist said. They
said one of their friends
accepted an offer, with-
drawing their NHS waiver
application to head north.
The psychiatrist said if
they must leave the U.S.,
they'll be separated from
their partner and out of a
job for months as they
work to get licensed in
their home country.
Even if their employer
were able to afford the
111E fee, they're not sure
they'd want to return.
"This entire process has
been so innedibly painful
and just soul -Hushing,"
they said. "I would rather
go to a country that would
appreciate my motivation
to work with patients."

A dispute over attorneys in
Miami death -penalty case
could end up in Tallahassee
gaguauq.nunullerulti.rom
lan Jackson hired and
paid for an attorney to
defend him in a 2020
murder case. But two
years after his second-
degree murder arrest,
Miami prosecutors suc-
cessfully sought a fust-
degree murder indictment
-- and opted to seek the
death penalty.
Jackson,
32
ac-
cused of
killing t
men min -
apart
n June 22,
2020. One
lan Jackson of the kill-
ings tran-
spired in
Miami Gardens, the other
in West Park. He was
originally charged in two
separate cases in Miami -
Dade and Browa'd, al-
though the Broward
charge was dropped in
2022 when Miami prose-
cutors took over the case,
records show.
Days after prosecutors'
announcement, Jackson
said hecould not afford to
hire a second attorney, as
is the noon for death -
penalty cases. So Miami -
Dade Circuit Court Judge
Alberto Milian appointed
second attorney tolack-
so Whether Jackson could
be appointed the second
lawyer for his defense was
at the center of an opinion
handed down by the 3rd
Distiici Court of Appeal
on Wednesday. On the
panel deciding the case
re Judges Ivan Fernan-
dez, Norma Lindsey and
Fleur Lobree.
In the opinion, penned
by Judge Lobree, the ap-
peals court gave Jackson
two options: either he
keeps his current attorney
or he dismisses the
lawyer and gets two court -
appointed attorneys.
The court, in an unusual
move, also requested that
the Florida Supreme
Courtin Tallahassee re-
view the case because it
concerned question of
great public importance."
The Florida Supreme
Court has discretion on
whether its justices will
hear Jackson's case —
although it is likely be-
e of the case's state-
wide impact.
"It's a right -to -counsel
issue," said attorney Dan
Tibbitt, who wrote a brief
in the case on behalf of
the Florida Association of
Criminal Defense L
y Itputs both the
df- d t and the de-
fense ly- impos-
sible
bl- situation."
n
The association filed
brief in support of Jack-
son, who argued that his
constitutional rights to
legal representation
would be violated if he
were not allowed to keep
the court -appointed at-
torney.
The Justice Adminis-
trative Commission, the
state agency that pays and
oversees it -appointed
lawyers in criminal cases,
sought to avoid footing
the bill for Jackson's sec-
ond attorney. The JAC,
cording to the opinion,
pointed out that Florida
law bars the appointment
of a lawyer at taxpayers'
expense when a defen-
dant has already hired an
attorney.
In the opinion, the 3rd
Distiici Court of Appeal
discussed how state laws
n appointed legal coun-
sel contradicted one an-
other.
One statute said judges
may not" appoint an
attorney if the defendant
has hired a lawyer, ac-
cording to the opinion.
Another allows judges to
appoint an attorney in
death -penalty cases.
But another section of
the statutes further com-
plicates the case, the opin-
ion says:
A defendant can only
get a court -appointed
attorney after a public
defender's office or crimi-
nal conflict counsel --

In Jackson's case, both
the Miami -Dade Public
Defender's Office and the
Office of Criminal Con-
flict and Civil Regional
Counsel, 3rd Region, said
they could not represent
Jackson alongside his
private attorney.
Jackson's case is not the
only time a similar
has come up on appeal.In
1999, the Florida Su-
preme Ct ruled that
defendant -pr- - t-d by
"volunto
death penalty case could
have a court -appointed
attorney on his legal team.
However, the 3rd Dis-
nict Court of Appeal said
that case should not apply
to Jackson's because state
laws have changed in the
almost three decades
since that case was decid-
It is unclear how long it
would take for Jackson's
se to reach the state's
highest court, if the justic—
es decide to hear it.
Jackson's murder case
remains pending in Miami
court. Ile has pleaded not
guilty to the murder
charges.
Investigators say he
carjacked and gunned
down 63-year-old Roy
Gissendanner in a resi-
dential area on the 5800
block of SW 27th St. in
West Park. Deputies
found Gissendanner lying
in the grass and suffering
from gunshots in his head
and torso.
Gissendanner's 2003
gold Ford Taurus was
later spotted — with Jack-
son driving it— at a gas
station on the 18300
block of North Miami
Avenue, according to
investigators. There, po-
lice say, Jackson fatally
shot O'Neil William.
