Last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation and announced new actions related to immigration enforcement in the state. Among them is a policy that could impose a hefty financial burden on state taxpayers and reduce community trust toward police.
S.B. 1808 requires each law enforcement agency in Florida that operates a county detention facility to enter into an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under a so-called 287(g) agreement, state and local law enforcement officers are deputized by the Department of Homeland Security to carry out duties typically performed by federal agents. Those officers may interview people about their immigration status, detain individuals, transfer noncitizens to ICE custody, and initiate the removal process.
According to the Florida Policy Institute, 46 of the state's 67 counties, as well as the state Department of Corrections and the city of Jacksonville, currently have 287(g) agreements. Counties with a detention facility that aren't involved in a 287(g) agreement will now have to enter one.
State and local governments often pay dearly to implement 287(g) agreements, as they—rather than the federal government—are responsible for the majority of operating costs. Officer salaries, overtime pay, and supply expenses aren't covered by ICE. States and localities also tend to foot most of the costs associated with detaining migrants.

Good
Send em back
Evidently the libertardians at Reason magazine want us to pay later.
Illegal aliens are not immigrants.
Notice they always try to demoralize us. With them it always can’t be done and the implication is we should give up and accept whatever crime and bullshit they want to do.
No thanks. Deport.
More costly than all the stolen jobs and crime that they bring?
the cost is fine Ron- We will pay it as a nation- illegals are costing us abotu a TRILLION dollars per year after all the costs both direct and indirect are added up (a report from decades ago had the cost between $400 and $600 BILLION per year- it’s very likely over a Trillion now per year)
whatever the cost is to deport illegals, you will save that much in just the first month- maybe even sooner by not having to pay out massive amounts of $$ for the illegals here in the states-
The wall was gonna cost approx $25 billion- the left screamed about the cost- deporting was gonna cost another couple billion- they screamed about that cost- BUT- the left are just fine with paying over a TRILLION dollars PER YEAR for illegals here in the nation?
Even if it cost us a whopping trillion dollars to deport them, it would still save us a ton of money over the next decades!
This is reason?
Hey chumps, you do know what happened in Texas right?
A Republican won a district that hadn’t been won by a
Republican in 150 years.
If you think it wasn’t related to immigration out of control
and the Leftist attempt the groom our kids, you’ve run out
of reason.
DeSantis is standing up for the Republic. Good man!
Just doing what the Feds don’t want to do.
They're criminals who have broken the law.
Well, tough noogies. Unless a court case says that 287(g) is strictly a county affair, Tampa-Hillsborough, Tallahassee-Leon and Miami-Dade now get to do the right thing, even if it's compelled. These liberals want to compel us to do all sorts of things. Now, it's their turn.
not just broken the law by coming here- but many have STOLEN identifications- there are likely millions of illegals with stolen SS numbers and identities- (Note, this is added into the indirect costs spoken of in my previous post about the costs to this nation over 1 trillion dollars-)
in my profile page, i have a list of crimes committed by illegals decades ago too- the numbers today are much much higher, but the list will give an idea about how out of control the crime by illegals really is- it is staggering! Many many people’s lives, family’s lives are ruined for life because of the vicious crimes committed by numerous violent illegals in our country
[[Officer salaries, overtime pay, and supply expenses aren’t covered by ICE. States and localities also tend to foot most of the costs associated with detaining migrants.]]
These and many other indirect costs are what is figured into the Trillion plus dollars a year estimate that illegals cost our nation spoken of in post 8- And that cost may be a low-ball figure-
In 2018 illegal aliens cost Florida 7.3 Billion dollars. Far Higher now.
This may actually reduce Florida’s costs.
Reason Magazine == Lipperturdians.
Almost as ethically stunted as ‘Rats.
Call the exterminator!
I've seen the damage this human garbage causes. I see in the emergency room I work in all the time.
And what galls the s**t out of me is We The People are on the hook for these rats.
Well Bidens put a lot of Governors in a bad spot so there it is. Costly and difficult to manage. Especially since they shouldn’t be coming here in the first place. But it will always cost citizens in more ways than just out of their purses. I hate it!
Exactly. If we have to spend money on illegals, let’s spend it the right way.
Notice they only bitch about cost when they have no other valid arguement
