One state official tells Florida Daily when President-elect Donald Trump begins the process of deporting illegals from the country, you can expect to see government agents in Florida.
Trump’s new “border czar, former ICE Director Tom Homan, says when we shall soon see the deportation of illegal immigrants back to their country of origin.
Not only will illegals be deported from inside the state, but members of the Trump transition team say new immigration policies will also position agents to monitor Maritime off the coast of Florida and more aviation security.
Homeland Security says since Biden took over in 2021, illegals entering the U.S. has jumped by 11 million and 3 million in fiscal year 2024.
“It’s going to be a well-targeted, planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They’re good at it,” Homan said.
The same Florida official told Florida Daily that when the deportations begin, you may also see assistance from local sheriffs, who have access to illegal immigrant criminals who are locked up in county jails.
Also, neighborhoods in the state could see massive raids. “It’s going to be a targeted enforcement operation,” said Homan.
Some Democratic governors have balked at Trump’s deportation comments and said they will not assist. Florida Democrats also oppose any plans of deporting illegal immigrants, calling it inhumane.
The Wall Street Journal reported that conducting a large mass deportation in U.S. history could cost $88 billion a year or $968 billion over more than a decade.
Florida would be one of the top states where mass deportation could begin quickly.
Data from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) showed an increasing number of illegal immigrants flying into Florida, under the Humanitarian Parole program, than any other state in the U.S., via curiosity by the Biden White House.
In 2022, The Biden administration authorized flights for illegals from several countries to fly into Florida without notifying Gov. DeSantis’ office.
The numbers released by CIS show around 386,000 illegal migrants were allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports, where the majority landed in Florida.
“Florida turns out to be the top landing spot, tallying at nearly 326,000 of the initial arrivals, and Florida shows to be heaviest for initial landings and migrant releases,” said CIS writer Todd Bensman.
Since 2022, the Governor’s office has complained that DHS never notifies them of illegals flying into the state, which prompted actions by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to sue the federal government.
