If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.'</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SB918" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SB918</span></a> also 'includes a number of changes including eliminating working time restrictions on teenagers aged 14 and 15 if they are home-schooled and ending guaranteed meal breaks for 16 and 17 year olds,' CNN reported.</p><p>"Florida Gov. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RonDeSantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RonDeSantis</span></a> backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TomHoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TomHoman</span></a>, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'</p><p>"In recent years, several states — many of them led by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Republican</span></a> governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arkansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Arkansas</span></a> Gov. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SarahHuckabeeSanders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SarahHuckabeeSanders</span></a> signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the exploitation of immigrant children in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/factories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>factories</span></a> operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S. </p><p>"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a>, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HazardRegulations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HazardRegulations</span></a> around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'</p><p>"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut social services, including funds that help provide school lunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program, that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/florida-child-labor-law-sb-918-rcna198275" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/f</span><span class="invisible">lorida-child-labor-law-sb-918-rcna198275</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeSantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeSantis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeSatan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeSatan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNAPCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SNAPCuts</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResistICE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsANazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsANazi</span></a>#AuthoritarianRule<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThisIsFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThisIsFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImmigrantsFeedUs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImmigrantsFeedUs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImmigrationCrackdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImmigrationCrackdown</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. Only a day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four who lived on a family farm in Sturgis, Mississippi. Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled to the sterile white seats of a detention shuttle in Tennessee, headed southwest, barely able to wriggle.</p><p>It was here, late on April 15, with chains around his belly, hands and ankles, that the Denmark-born man fully realized that what he was experiencing was not a brief disruption from his many years in America—some clerical error that could be unmade in an afternoon’s discussion, or with the swift intervention of a judge.</p><p>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement transported Kasper to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, also known as the LaSalle Detention Center, in Jena, Louisiana, with a dozen other detainees. Not sons, not fathers, not husbands, but detainees, “aliens”: in the eyes of the law, that remains his primary designation. ICE deposited him in a facility where he shares a cell with just under 100 other people, cycling in and out, sharing little in common beyond the uncertainty of their future.</p><p>Kasper has never been charged with or convicted of any crime. He has not been accused of being a member of MS-13 or Tren de Aragua. What led the government to rip Kasper out of the arms of his family was, to the best of his knowledge, a single document.
