Miami-Dade County's jail system signed an updated agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement allowing trained correctional officers to transport immigration detainees to federal detention centers. This includes potential trips to the Everglades facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The agreement is in response to a Florida law mandating cooperation with ICE, which Mayor Daniella Levine Cava endorsed. Approximately two dozen Miami-Dade Corrections staff are trained under the 287(g) program to fulfill these transportation duties, although no detainees have been moved to the new detention camp yet.
