No Sanctuary: Inside Ron DeSantis’s War on Cities That Won’t Help ICE
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been pressuring local cities to cooperate with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the 287(g) program, which deputizes local police and jails with immigration enforcement powers. The state has passed laws requiring county detention facilities to enroll in the program, but the language does not specify that cities and police departments must participate. Residents and immigrant advocates have been protesting and speaking out against the program, with some cities reversing course after receiving threatening letters from the state attorney general.
- ▪Florida has the second-largest number of 287(g) agreements in the US, with over half of the agreements nationwide based in the state by April 2025.
- ▪The state law requires county detention facilities to enroll in the 287(g) program, but does not specify that cities and police departments must participate.
- ▪The Florida Attorney General has sent threatening letters to cities that have declined to participate in the program, citing a state law that bans sanctuary policies.
