Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state Cabinet approved more than $2 million in new funding for immigration enforcement equipment, expanding a statewide effort to support federal immigration operations through local law enforcement agencies.
The $2.4 million allocation, approved unanimously by the State Board of Immigration Enforcement, brings Florida's total approved spending to about $21 million from a $250 million fund created by the Legislature earlier this year to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
