CHINESE LAND OWNERSHIP LAW DEBATED

JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE — A federal judge listened to more than two hours of arguments Tuesday about whether he should block a new Florida law that restricts people from China from owning property in the state.

U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor asked numerous questions of attorneys for the state and plaintiffs seeking a preliminary injunction against the law. He said he would make a decision as soon as he can but that a ruling would not be “super imminent.”

Four Chinese people and a real-estate brokerage that serves Chinese clients filed a lawsuit and sought an injunction after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the law (SB 264) in May. The lawsuit, which has been backed by the U.S. Department of Justice, contends that the restrictions violate constitutional rights and the federal Fair Housing Act and are trumped by federal law.

DeSantis and Republican legislative allies this spring pointed to a need to curb the influence of the Chinese government and Chinese Communist Party in Florida. But Ashley Gorski, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney representing the plaintiffs, told Winsor the state has relied on “pernicious stereotypes” to conflate people from China with the Chinese government.

“There are always all of these stereotypes and really tired tropes that governments have used, perpetuating Asians as foreigners and enemies of the state,” Bethany Li, an attorney with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund who also represents the plaintiffs, told reporters before the hearing.

State Solicitor General Henry Whitaker said during the hearing that the law is designed to protect the security of Florida.

“The state is concerned with the influence of the Chinese Communist Party and their agents in Florida,” Whitaker said.

As an indication of the interest in the case, an unusually large crowd packed a courtroom in the federal courthouse in Tallahassee. Before the hearing, dozens of opponents of the law gathered outside the building.

The law affects people from what Florida calls “foreign countries of concern” — China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria, with part of it specifically focused on Chinese people who are not U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents.

The legal challenge centers on such Chinese people. Under the law, they would be prevented from purchasing property in Florida, with some exceptions. For example, they each would be allowed to purchase one residential property up to two acres if the property is not within five miles of a military base and they have non-tourist visas.

Plaintiffs are in the United States on such things as work and student visas. One is seeking asylum, according to the lawsuit, which was filed May 22 and revised June 5.

The law also would prevent people from the seven “foreign countries of concern” from buying agricultural land and property near military bases. Those parts of the law would apply to people who are not U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents.

Winsor and the attorneys engaged in back-and-forth discussions about a series of issues Tuesday, including whether the law violates constitutional equal-protection rights, the Fair Housing Act and whether it is “preempted” by federal law.

Part of the preemption issue stems from a federal law that created what is known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, which has power to review real-estate transactions involving certain people from other countries.

Gorski argued that the Florida law deals with the “intersection” of national security, foreign affairs and foreign investment — and is preempted by federal law.

But Whitaker said there has been no indication that the Florida law would undermine the federal government’s ability to scrutinize property sales.

The Department of Justice last month filed a 22-page “statement of interest” supporting the lawsuit and preliminaryinjunction request, arguing the law violates the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Protection Clause.

Meanwhile, attorneys general from Idaho, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah filed a friend-of-the-court brief last week opposing the plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction.

State Appeals Ruling On Kids In Nursing Homes

JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA nursing homes in Broward and Pinellas counties. It also said more than 1,800 children are considered at risk of being institutionalized.

TALLAHASSEE — The state quickly launched an appeal after a federal judge ruled Friday that Florida has violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and needs to make changes to keep children with “complex” medical conditions out of nursing homes.

Attorneys for the state filed a notice Monday that is a first step in challenging U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks’ ruling at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

As is common, the notice does not detail arguments the state will make at the Atlantabased appeals court. But the state Agency for Health Care Administration issued a statement Monday that criticized Middlebrooks’ ruling and said Florida would seek a stay and appeal.

Middlebrooks wrote that the Americans with Disabilities Act requires the state to provide services in the most “integrated setting appropriate” to meet the needs of people with disabilities. He also cited a major 1999 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said “undue institutionalization” of people with disabilities is a form of discrimination.

But the statement Monday from the Agency for Health Care Administration disputed Middlebrooks’ conclusions.

“During the trial, witnesses testified that their medically complex children were in nursing homes for various reasons unrelated to the state or its policies,” the statement said.

Supreme Court opinion that detailed the case. Wainwright and Hamilton were accused of raping and murdering Gayheart, whose body was found in Hamilton County. Wainwright, now 52, was convicted in 1995 and sentenced to death. In the appeal, Wainwright, in part, offered a report from a DNA analyst that criticized the findings of two state DNA experts who testified at Wainwright’s trial, according to Tuesday’s opinion. But in upholding a ruling by a federal district judge, the appeals-court panel said the new evidence “is insufficient when considered together with the other evidence presented” at his trial. “Reasonable jurors, considering the new evidence along with the evidence available at trial, would still find Mr. Wainwright guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” said the 17-page opinion by Judges Adalberto Jordan, Britt Grant and Andrew Brasher.

“The judge’s failure to understand the law is demonstrable in his order,” said the statement from the agency, which runs most of the Medicaid program. “The court’s conclusion that the state’s actions or omissions force children to live in nursing homes against their parent’s wishes is unsupported and refuted by the evidence presented at trial.”

Middlebrooks’ ruling and an accompanying injunction came in a decade-long legal battle in which the U.S. Department of Justice alleged the state unnecessarily institutionalized children in nursing homes. The South Florida-based judge ordered the state to make changes aimed at providing care to children in their family homes and communities.

“Unjustified institutionalization of individuals with disabilities is unacceptable, especially given the advances in technology and in the provision of home-based care,” Middlebrooks wrote in a 79-page decision.

“Any family who wants to care for their child at home should be able to do so.”

The case focuses on children in the Medicaid program with conditions that often require round-the-clock care involving such needs as ventilators, feeding tubes and breathing tubes. The ruling said about 140 children in the Medicaid program are in three

“Not one parent testified that they are ready and willing to take a child home but cannot do so because of the state’s actions or omissions. The court’s conclusion that the state’s actions or omissions force children to live in nursing homes against their parents’ wishes is a generalization unsupported and even refuted by the evidence presented at trial.”

The Justice Department filed the lawsuit in 2013, after conducting an investigation that concluded the state Medicaid program was unnecessarily placing children in nursing homes. The state has vehemently fought the allegations and the lawsuit, with the U.S. Supreme Court last year declining to take up a state appeal aimed at preventing the case from moving forward.

A key part of Middlebrooks’ ruling was that the Medicaid program and contracted managed-care organizations were not providing adequate private-duty nursing that could enable children to receive care in their family homes or communities.

Middlebrooks ordered that the Medicaid program provide 90 percent of the privateduty nursing hours that are authorized for the children. He also ordered the state to improve what are known as “care coordination” services and to take steps to improve the transition of children from nursing homes.
