Florida Bill Would Fine Police $10,000 For Not Partnering With ICE; Lets Families Sue Over Killings By Noncitizens

HB 229, the "Shane Jones Act," would fine Florida law enforcement agencies $10,000 if they refuse 287(g) partnerships with ICE and direct those funds to compensate families of people killed by noncitizens. It also creates a pathway for civil suits against noncompliant agencies or local governments with sanctuary policies. The bill builds on DeSantis-era mandates and arrives alongside proposals to expand E‑Verify and restrict undocumented commercial driving.
