## Resource

Florida’s immigration enforcement is hitting new highs, with nearly 40,000 arrests in recent years—up from 11,000—thanks to a surge of state and local agencies, including even the Fish and Wildlife Commission, stepping into federal immigration roles. Many arrests begin with routine traffic stops, quietly escalating to federal custody, while agencies block public access to records and footage, citing operational sensitivity. Families are living in fear: one woman revealed her husband was detained after a suspicious charge while walking their dog, jeopardizing their asylum cases. Driven by the 287(g) program and financial incentives like salary reimbursements and equipment funding, local officers face pressure to produce results, often targeting minor infractions. The result? A quietly escalating enforcement machine reshaping daily life for thousands. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
