In early 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pushed for stringent immigration laws to assist the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts. The implementation of these laws has led to increased arrests and a significant impact on local communities, including overcrowded detention centers. With threats to penalize officials opposing these measures and a recent defiance of a federal judge’s order, the tension between state-level enforcement and federal rulings is escalating. Residents, especially immigrants, are increasingly alarmed by the changing landscape, indicating a shift from Florida’s previous reputation as an immigrant haven.
