Florida Funds Police for Immigration Enforcement

Florida just poured $90 million into local law enforcement to beef up immigration enforcement—equipping 56 police departments with everything from radios and body cams to riot gear and X-ray machines. Over $30 million is new funding, while the rest boosts existing requests, like Polk County’s upgrade to communicate with ICE. Backed by Governor DeSantis and state officials, this is part of a $140 million trend—with $250 million earmarked for next year. Agencies can even get reimbursed for vans to move detainees, all under an extended emergency rule aimed at speeding up immigration processing. This is a major state push to arm local cops with the tools to handle immigration enforcement more effectively. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
