The Porcine Pardon: Pig Named 6-7 Granted Clemency by Miami-Dade Leader.

Although not quite at the equivalent scale as pardoning festive fowl, but the county's top official experienced a Donald Trump moment this week by ceremoniously saving the life of a swine named Six Seven.

Daniella Levine Cava carried out the annual tradition at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the center of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.

“This animal is guiltless. She deserves this act of mercy. No offenses are on her docket,” Levine Cava said in a speech with obvious nods to the vast quantity of executive clemencies issued since the onset of a current administration.

“If we disregard eating half a dozen apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “Let this swine have a prosperous future without fear.”

The event, which both honors and questions the region’s Hispanic tradition of consuming swine during the holidays, was created to emulate the annual turkey pardoning at the White House.

The swine, contributed by a local firefighter, was given its name from the modern linguistic fad of young people yelling “six-seven” – inspired by a hip-hop line – often without clear purpose. The phrase became so pervasive that a major dictionary recently named “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year.

A Future Secured

Six Seven the pig is now set to enjoy its days at a farm sanctuary “distant from barbecues and spits”, according to the ceremony's official statement.

“This swine clemency has become a beloved tradition to kick off the holiday season,” said the cafe owner, in a particularly upbeat message.

“It embodies the spirit of Miami: happy, diverse, and grounded in customs that foster togetherness. Every time, we are delighted to mark tradition and kindness in a way only Miami can.”

Guests enjoyed a meat-free selection of spinach croquetas and Cuban coffee as they marked the swine's new lease on life.
