The bill is a memorial from the Florida Legislature urging the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide guidance and training opportunities for state and local law enforcement agencies involved in 287(g) agreements. These agreements allow local law enforcement to assist federal authorities in the investigation, apprehension, and detention of illegal aliens, as outlined in President Trump's Executive Order 14159. The bill emphasizes Florida's commitment to combating illegal immigration and highlights the state's readiness to support law enforcement through its training facilities, particularly the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center.
The resolution calls for the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure effective cooperation and coordination with 287(g) agreements, thereby enhancing the impact of state and local law enforcement in addressing illegal immigration. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the memorial to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for the necessary support and resources for these law enforcement agencies.
