The formation of Florida’s new immigration enforcement board marks a significant step in the state’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
Larry Keefe, who gained attention for his role in organizing migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard, has been appointed as the board’s executive director.
Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted the recent immigration reforms, emphasizing that all state and local law enforcement agencies must now participate in immigration enforcement, signaling a more proactive approach.
In addition, the board approved a new grant program aimed at assisting law enforcement agencies with the funding needed to implement these immigration policies.
This move is part of broader efforts within Florida’s government to address immigration issues and could have far-reaching effects on the way law enforcement interacts with immigration enforcement in the state.
