The Florida Legislature today passed CS/CS/CS/SB 168: Federal Immigration Enforcement. Please see the following statement from Governor Ron DeSantis regarding the passage of this legislation:
“Earlier this year, I asked the Florida Legislature to present me with a bill this session that upholds the rule of law and addresses sanctuary cities and counties in Florida. We are a stronger state when we protect our residents, foster safe communities and respect the work of law enforcement at every level. Local law enforcement agencies can and should work with the federal government to ensure that accountability and justice are one in our state. I’d like to thank Senate President Bill Galvano, House Speaker Jose Oliva, Senator Joe Gruters and Representative Cord Byrd for recognizing the importance of this issue.”
