The Miami City Commission is set to vote on a 287(g) agreement with ICE, allowing police to enforce immigration laws. This comes amid tension surrounding the Trump administration's immigration policies. Some commissioners are hesitant, citing protests in Los Angeles and concerns about the negative effects on Miami's immigrant community, which is vital to the city's economy. There are calls for a delay in the vote due to ongoing discussions and the recent special election to fill a commission seat. Overall, the city's decision could impact its approach to immigration enforcement significantly.
"Regardless of how well this plan may be implemented by local enforcement agencies, I am very concerned with the hostile climate these policies create for immigrants."
"I am not in favor of 287(g)."
