FLORIDA FHP ARRESTS 3,000 IMMIGRANTS IN CRACKDOWN, DESANTIS SAYS

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that the Florida Highway Patrol has apprehended nearly 3,000 undocumented immigrants this year and plans to escalate arrests further by establishing a new Immigration Enforcement section. This new unit will collaborate with state and federal agencies to identify and apprehend "criminal aliens." The state has become a leader in immigration enforcement, implementing 287(g) training for local law enforcement and opening a state-run detention facility. Additionally, the article covers FHSMV executive director Dave Kerner's criticism of The Palm Beach Post's reporting on the arrest of U.S. citizen Kenny Laynez during an immigration crackdown, a narrative Kerner disputes as "false."
