A shocking letter has been leaked showing the President of the Board was aware of decay in Miami’s Champlain Towers South since at least 2018

The letter warned residents of Miami’s Camplain Towers South building that structural issues had become “significantly worse”.

The letters show the President of the Board had been aware that the building was experiencing decay since 2018.

One letter to neighbours says “the observable damage such as in the garage has gotten significantly worse since the initial inspection”.

Major emergency rescue underway after Miami building collapse

The letters have surfaced in the wake of lawsuits over the building’s collapse

As residents and apartment owners seek damages for the disaster, a class-action lawsuit is alleging that the condo association board’s “reckless and negligent conduct” was responsible for the collapse.

Attorney Adam Schwartz-baum says the fact that a 20-18 survey indicated that there was serious structural problems is a major concern.

He says “based on our investigation, there were many warnings signs more than 10 years ago; maybe even longer”.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families in Surfside as we respond to this tragedy in our community.

Thank you to @MiamiPD and @CityofMiamiFire for getting to the scene quickly—we sent 10 fire rescue units along with drones and K-9 units to assist with search and rescue. pic.twitter.com/lhsrUjePM7

Noem calls for expanding U.S. travel ban amid security concerns following a deadly shooting, citing risks from additional countries.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is calling for a major expansion of the U.S. travel ban, arguing that more countries are sending dangerous migrants into the United States. Her proposal would widen the list from 19 to as many as 30 nations, although the exact countries have not been named.

The push follows a deadly shooting in Washington that killed a young Army specialist and left another critically injured. Noem says the attack highlights growing national security gaps.

The conversation is now shifting to how the U.S. evaluates travel risks and the broader political consequences.
