Thousands of Cubans, Venezuelans and other conservative Latinos convened in Miami to attend an 'Anti-Communist' caravan, flying flags of support for President Donald Trump.
The parade, called the 'Anti-Communist Caravan for Freedom and Democracy', convened at the Magic City Casino on Saturday morning.
Various reports estimate somewhere between 20,000 to 30,000 cars in attendance for the caravan.
Demonstrators had flags for Trump's reelection, along with Cuban flags and other country flags.
Several people sported huge blowups of Trump's face, waving signs that slammed the supposed increase of communist ideology in the country.

Because of mounting concerns that Biden's standing is slipping, the campaign has embarked on an urgent effort to try to shore up support among older voters, suburbanites and African Americans to try to make up for losses elsewhere.
Hispanic voters in Florida tend to be somewhat more Republican-leaning than Hispanic voters nationwide because of the state's Cuban American population, which Trump has acknowledged several times in his remarks.
