"Doral's City Council voted unanimously to grant local police immigration enforcement powers, signifying a step toward deeper collaboration with federal authorities."
"While the agreement proposes cooperation with ICE under the 287(g) program, Mayor Fraga articulated concerns about resource constraints for implementing immigration law."
The Doral City Council has unanimously authorized local police to obtain immigration enforcement powers through an agreement with ICE as part of the 287(g) program. This decision aligns Doral with other Miami-Dade municipalities endorsing tougher immigration policies. Mayor Christi Fraga expressed moral concerns over the agreement, noting the city lacks resources for enforcing immigration laws. Doral's population is largely foreign-born, predominantly Venezuelan, leading to potential impacts on the city's significant immigrant community. No formal agreement with ICE has been finalized yet, but this resolution marks a crucial first step toward cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
