Florida's recent immigration operation, dubbed 'Operation Tidal Wave', resulted in over 1,100 arrests through a collaboration of state and federal law enforcement. Governor Ron DeSantis aims to enhance the state's support for federal immigration priorities and seeks to establish new detention facilities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials stated that the operation could serve as a model for other states. Critics, including the ACLU, have condemned the initiative for its potential harm to communities and individuals.
"Florida looks forward to being the bellwether, the blueprint, the prototype of how state and locals work with their federal partners to make things happen and get things done in all settings."
"If we get the sign off from DHS, we can expand detention space very quickly in Florida."
