Florida Highway Patrol troopers will soon aid ICE in deportation efforts

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced an agreement for state troopers to be trained to detain illegal immigrants, allowing them to arrest and deliver them to federal authorities for deportation.
The agreement will take time to implement as Florida Highway Patrol troopers need training, according to DeSantis.
Under President Donald Trump, ICE is expanding the 287 program to include local law enforcement for street arrests, a move previously discontinued due to racial profiling concerns.
DeSantis stated that the arrangement aims to fulfill the President's mission for a large deportation program, emphasizing Florida's commitment to immigration enforcement.
