Florida State College at Jacksonville has signed a pending agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that grants its campus police department the authority to enforce immigration laws. This action aligns FSCJ with over a dozen other public institutions in Florida partaking in similar agreements, reflecting a state-level crackdown on immigration under Governor Ron DeSantis. Initially, college officials believed their police department was too small for such an agreement, but later confirmation revealed that they were eligible for federal training to work with ICE.
