BREAKING: Florida Law Enforcement Will Now be Deputized as Immigration Agents

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just announced that Florida law enforcement will now be deputized as immigration agents.

"This program allows ICE enforcement and Removal operations to partner with state and local enforcement agencies to identify and remove already incarcerated criminal aliens who are eligible for removal before they are released into our community."

"This agreement will give FHP expanded power and authority to interrogate any suspected alien or person believed to be an alien as to their right to be entered in the United States. If they are found to be in violation of proper immigration status, they will be further detained and processed for state or federal offenses."

"This means that FHP State law enforcement officers will be empowered to arrest and detain aliens attempting to unlawfully lawfully enter the United States, such as through ports of entry or via waters off Florida's coastline."

"They can also deliver detained illegal immigrants without any unnecessary delays for examination by immigration enforcement authorities for further screening."
