  • Florida has the majority of local and state police departments having partnered with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to support the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts.

The article from WLRN discusses how Florida's sheriffs are increasingly collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain undocumented immigrants, a practice that has intensified under the Trump administration's policies. This collaboration involves sheriffs' offices participating in a task force aimed at identifying and deporting undocumented individuals, often leading to the separation of families and widespread fear within immigrant communities. Critics argue that this approach not only strains community trust in law enforcement but also diverts resources from other critical public safety issues. The article highlights the political motivations behind these actions, suggesting they align with Trump's hardline immigration stance, and notes the significant impact on local communities, where even minor offenses can lead to deportation.
