💨 Abstract

Florida's collaboration with federal immigration officials through ICE is raising transparency concerns. Critics worry that immigrants detained might disappear into the county jail system due to the classification of relevant records as federal. Miami-Dade officials maintain transparency but the federal government's agreement with ICE might limit public access to information. Governor Ron DeSantis has mandated strict cooperation with ICE, empowering local officers to identify and process "removable aliens."
