Earlier today, Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted Florida’s leadership on immigration enforcement and announced that Florida is ready to do more.
“Florida has led the nation on immigration enforcement, and we’re ready to do even more.” DeSantis said. “We’ve submitted a plan to the federal government to contribute new detention facilities and expanded apprehension efforts to their ongoing mission to reclaim America’s sovereignty.”
Florida is leading the fight on illegal immigration enforcement. Florida has more deputized state law enforcement officers under 287(g) task force deputizations than any other state in the nation.
Additionally, more than 100 Florida Highway Patrol Troopers were sworn in as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals. This authority now empowers our state troopers to execute federal warrants and remove dangerous criminals from our communities. And Florida is ready to do even more. Florida submitted a plan to the federal government to contribute new detention facilities and expanded apprehension efforts to their ongoing mission to reclaim America’s sovereignty. Florida’s plan also includes a proposal to help expedite immigration legal processing by deputizing Florida National Guard JAGS as immigration judges.
