"The impact of Florida's aggressive immigration enforcement under Gov. Ron DeSantis reveals a stark shift in state policy, threatening the long-standing immigrant-friendly image."
"Attorney General James Uthmeier's defiance of a federal judge's order demonstrates the escalating tensions between state laws and federal immigration guidelines in Florida."

The implementation of these laws has led to increased arrests and a significant impact on local communities, including overcrowded detention centers.

Residents, especially immigrants, are increasingly alarmed by the changing landscape, indicating a shift from Floridaâs previous reputation as an immigrant haven.
