I would imagine a metric shit-ton of money got poured into the Latinos for Trump movement. It was very effective.

They certainly did in Florida, where the democrats pretty much completely pulled funding, thinking it was a lost cause.

As I understand it, that's in large part because of the Cuban expat community, who are mainly a single issue demographic focused on "fuck the Castros".

It's worth mentioning at every chance that south Florida had a radically different Latino/Caribbean population than the rest of the states. Cubans, sure. But also larger representations of every south/central American country. The wealthy Latinos also flock there. They will snowbird there the same as New Yorkers or Canadians. Theres an older generation with much stronger ties to religion. All of this contributes little by little towards the Latino population leaning right in south florida.
