Florida corrections department enters controversial immigration agreement with ICE

“Turning our state employees into ICE agents at Florida taxpayer expense will not make our state safer,” said Amien Kacou, a state attorney for the ACLU of Florida. “In a state where one in five people are immigrants, and where U.S. citizens are often caught in ICE’s sprawling net, we should be taking steps to protect our communities and not furthering our role in the federal deportation agenda leading to the separation of families.”
