Judge Upholds Florida 'Sanctuary City Ban' says Police Must Comply with ICE

A federal judge has blocked part of a Florida law that required local police to cross state lines to help federal immigration authorities but left in place a provision where the officers would have to detain illegal immigrants until the feds come to collect them. Miami U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom issued the order on Monday, Sept. 30, according to the Miami Herald.

She wrote in the order that the law “leaves numerous cooperative avenues open for law enforcement officers to participate in the immigration efforts of federal officers.” Judge Bloom’s decision pertains to the law known as SB 168: Federal Immigration Enforcement, broadly reported as a sanctuary city ban.

Following the judge’s decision, the law that enters into force on Oct. 1 stipulates that Florida police officers must cooperate with federal agencies and hold detainees in jail for an extra two days until U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) picks up the suspects and takes them to a federal detention center. Suspected illegal aliens who have posted bond or have fully served their local sentence would also be subject to the additional 48-hour detention.

Five Reasons Florida's New Anti-Sanctuary Bill Is Racist Nonsense
JERRY IANNELLI | JUNE 16, 2019 | 9:00AMAA
This past Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state's deeply controversial anti-"sanctuary city" bill, SB 168, into law. He did so in the blood-red Florida Panhandle, and there were so many fans who showed up that DeSantis reportedly had to find a larger venue. 

The law, in short, is nonsense. There are no sanctuary cities in Florida at the moment. It fixes a problem that does not exist. And some of its language comes from racist, anti-immigrant groups who were quietly advising Florida lawmakers about the bill. After DeSantis signed the measure Friday, civil-rights groups lobbed criticism at the governor, suggesting they will launch legal challenges to prevent the law from taking effect.

In the meantime, here's a rundown of why the bill is harmful and racist:


1. There aren't any sanctuary cities in Florida at the moment.

2. A March study warned that Florida could lose billions because of SB 168. The New American Economy, a centrist, corporate-tied think tank, warned in March that the bill could drain billions from the Florida gross-domestic product:

3. Florida GOP chair and state Sen. Joe Gruters told immigrants to "use public transportation" to avoid being arrested and deported for driving.

4. When Miami-Dade County stopped acting as a "sanctuary," it lost money and hurt relations with the community.

5. The idea for the bill was pitched by an anti-immigrant extremist group.
