Campus police at Florida's public universities are pursuing agreements with federal authorities to allow officers to enforce immigration laws directly. This move aligns with Governor Ron DeSantis' directives supporting the Trump Administration's immigration agenda. Specifically, Florida Atlantic University, University of Florida, and University of South Florida are exploring the 287(g) program, which permits local law enforcement to perform immigration duties under ICE's oversight. The initiative reflects a broader strategy to enhance immigration enforcement capabilities across state schools in response to recent federal crackdowns on international students.
Campus police departments across three Florida universities are moving to collaborate with federal authorities to enable their officers to enforce immigration laws directly on campuses.
In response to the Trump Administration's immigration policies, Florida universities are exploring ways to enhance collaboration with federal immigration enforcement, as directed by Governor DeSantis.
