Changes 'use best efforts to support' to 'shall support' federal immigration law and changes 'may' to 'shall' for transporting people subject to immigration detainers, so more immigration enforcement by state and local agencies.
A law enforcement agency shall support the enforcement of federal immigration law.
Changes 'may' to 'shall' for securely transporting persons subject to immigration detainers to federal facilities or points of transfer, so more state/local involvement in immigration detention and transport.
the agency shall securely transport the person to a federal facility in this state or to another point of transfer to federal custody outside the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends s. 908.104 to mandate (rather than encourage) support for federal immigration enforcement and require (rather than permit) transport of individuals subject to detainers, expanding state/local cooperation and detention/transport roles. It also adds an exception protecting information on cooperating victims/witnesses, which restricts enforcement in those scenarios. No other topics are substantively addressed.
