Florida lawmakers have enacted stringent immigration measures aimed at enhancing enforcement and aligning with federal immigration policies supported by the Trump administration. The new legislation establishes a state immigration enforcement board, mandates local collaboration with federal officials, increases penalties for undocumented immigrants, and repeals in-state tuition for undocumented students. It also criminalizes illegal entry into Florida. The bill allocates funding to support local law enforcement operations, emphasizing the state’s commitment to tackling illegal immigration amidst broader national trends in Republican-led states.
"Florida will be safer and more secure as a result of this legislation," he said.
The measures create a state board of immigration enforcement and increase penalties for immigrants without legal status who commit crimes.
