The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently partnered with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the state’s Department of Corrections for a six-day immigration operation that resulted in the arrests of 1,100 migrants. According to ICE, the operation targeted immigrants with criminal history, with 60% of the arrests being those with prior arrests or convictions. It also targeted those with deportation orders.
ICE officials said that this operation was among the largest single-state operations in agency history and will be used as a model for conduct as the Trump administration continues to join forces with local police authorities through the 287(g) program.
