More than 20 undocumented immigrants were taken into custody in a sting run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in central Florida. This represents only a small fraction of the 271 people arrested during the sting in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and across the state of Florida. Fewer than half of these individuals had criminal records. For those worried about their immigration status in our area, consulting with a qualified Orlando immigration lawyer can provide added peace of mind and the right representation to resolve issues and achieve the right to remain in the U.S. legally.
Sting Targeted Immigrants Across the State of Florida
According to ICE, federal officials arrested 76 people in Miami-Dade County and 65 in Broward County. ICE took 10 people into custody in Orange County and 14 people in the surrounding counties for a total of 24 arrests in central Florida. These arrests are part of a larger pattern of activity by ICE to carry out the policies and initiatives of the Trump administration against undocumented workers and immigrants across the U.S.
Increased Enforcement by ICE
This immigration sting is the latest in a series of ICE enforcement actions aimed at undocumented individuals in the state of Florida and across the nation. ICE has stopped people suspected of immigration issues on buses, outside courtrooms, in police stations and in many other venues in Florida. In many cases, these arrests have led to deportation proceedings and removal from this country.
