Free shuttles for Brightline passengers to Miami Grand Prix this weekend
Anyone who loves Formula 1 but hates Miami-area traffic can take Brightline this weekend to its Aventura train station to catch a free ride to the Miami Grand Prix.
The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens will run a free shuttle for passengers Friday, May 1 through Sunday, May 4 between the Aventura station and the stadium hosting the big race six miles away.
The shuttle will deliver passengers between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. It will bring passengers back from the race from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday and 4 to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
Passengers on Friday's southbound trains arriving in Aventura at 11:56 a.m., 1:56 p.m. and 2:56 p.m. will be given access to the shuttles. The same goes for southbound passengers arriving Saturday or Sunday at 9:24 a.m., 11:24 a.m. and 1:24 p.m.
Shuttles depart the Aventura station 10 minutes after trains arrive, Brightline says. Shuttles return from the stadium one hour before trains depart. The drop-off and pick-up area in the stadium will be in Lot 16 near the Gate 3 pedestrian bridge.
Tickets for Palm Beach County passengers seeking the free shuttle rides range from $52 to $74 for one adult. Tickets can be booked online at GoBrightline.com.

Silver Airways cancels more than a dozen flights at Fort Lauderdale airport. Why?
Hollywood-based Silver Airways abruptly canceled all flights early June 11, telling passengers going to or from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the other airports it services to check with their credit card companies for refunds. "We regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025," the heavily indebted company said around midnight Wednesday, June 11 on Instagram. "Please do not go to the airport. All credit card purchases should be refundable through your credit card company or your travel agency." The airline canceled 14 flights in and out of Fort Lauderdale that connected with airports across Florida and the Carribean. Silver Airways shut down after no one stepped up during a June 6 auction to buy the company, allowing Connecticut-based Wexford Capital to take control of it. "In an attempt to restructure in bankruptcy, Silver entered into a transaction to sell its assets to another airline holding company, who unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver's flight operations," the airline wrote in its social media post. Silver filed for bankruptcy protection in December with more than $100 million in debt. It was operating until Wednesday with a $5.7 million loan from Wexford, South Florida NPR affiliate WLRN reported June 6. The airline flew entirely within Florida and the Carribean. In Florida, it connected Fort Lauderdale with Tampa, Key West and Tallahassee. It also serviced Pensacola, but not directly with Fort Lauderdale. Silver Airways flew nonstop between Fort Lauderdale and Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and the islands of St. Maarten and St. Kitts. More than 32,000 people flew Silver Airways in and out of the Fort Lauderdale Airport in April, the airport's latest passenger data shows, up 31% from a year prior. Silver Airways stopped flying out of Palm Beach International Airport last September. Chris Persaud covers transportation for The Palm Beach Post.

Venezuelans in exile urge U.S. to deny visa to soccer player over ties to Maduro regime
A Miami-based Venezuelan exile organization has asked the U.S. State Department to deny the visa of a Venezuelan soccer player set to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, due to his close ties to the Nicolás Maduro regime. In a letter sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Politically Persecuted Venezuelans Abroad, or VEPPEX, expressed concern over the imminent entry into the U.S. of Matías Lacava, a player on the South Korean team Ulsan HD, which will play its first match on U.S. soil on June 17 at Inter & Co Stadium in Orlando. Matías Lacava is the son of Rafael Lacava, current governor of Carabobo state in north-central Venezuela and a prominent figure in Maduro's regime. The official was sanctioned on Feb. 25, 2019, by the U.S. government along with three other Venezuelan governors for corruption and obstructing humanitarian aid. In the letter, VEPPEX argues that allowing the entry of immediate relatives of sanctioned officials such as Matías Lacava represents a clear contradiction to the principles of justice, accountability and respect for human rights that the United States has historically upheld. 'Allowing the son of a top Maduro regime official to enter the U.S. for an international sporting event is a direct affront to the Venezuelan exile community, many of whom have fled precisely the oppression that family represents,' the letter stated. The organization formally requested that the State Department revoke any valid visa or entry permit held by Matías Lacava and deny him entry into the country until a thorough review of his case is conducted, 'taking into account possible implications for human rights and national security.' In its decision to sanction Rafael Lacava in 2019, the Treasury Department argued that the four governors were involved in endemic corruption practices and that he helped obstruct the delivery of critical humanitarian aid, thereby worsening the ongoing humanitarian crisis 'caused by Maduro's illegitimate regime.' In Rafael Lacava's specific case, the department noted that he 'has long been a friend and key intermediary' of Maduro and continues to act on his behalf. 'In early 2018, he was accused of hiding funds in Switzerland and Andorra.' Rafael Lacava was re-elected in the controversial regional elections held on May 25, which were widely denounced for lack of transparency, voter repression and the exclusion of opposition candidates, according to VEPPEX. For the Venezuelan exile community, the case of Matías Lacava 'carries deep symbolic weight' because, according to VEPPEX, the United States has been a bastion of hope and refuge for thousands of politically persecuted individuals, and decisions like this send a contradictory message about its stance toward authoritarian regimes. 'We trust that you will take swift and decisive action on this matter,' the letter to the leadership of the State Department concludes.

Miami Marlins join efforts to restore defaced Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso mural
MIAMI — The Miami Marlins are joining efforts to restore the defaced mural of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, which was marked with racist graffiti last week. City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King announced Wednesday that she along with the Marlins, Urgent, Inc., Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency and other community activists will lead the restoration at Dorsey Park, where community leaders said a 7-year-old boy first discovered the vandalism last Sunday and asked his mother what the words and the Nazi symbols meant.
