Florida lawmakers passed a bill that mandates collaboration with federal authorities for the arrest of illegal immigrants, despite pushback from Governor DeSantis, who initially sought more power. The legislation creates a State Board of Immigration Enforcement, which includes key state officials and requires unanimous decisions for enforcement actions. This move arose after internal disagreements within the Republican Party and highlighted the tension in legislating immigration in response to the national sentiment supporting stringent policies. DeSantis’ original plan aimed for immediate deportations and substantial funding for operations targeting undocumented immigrants.

The State Board of Immigration Enforcement will require a unanimous vote for any actions.
