Florida Sheriffs Gregory Tony (Broward County) and Ric Bradshaw (Palm Beach County) are the latest to state that their departments would continue cooperating with federal immigration authorities as they have in the past but would not dedicate additional personnel to immigration enforcement following a new federal agreement allowing states sheriffs to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Governor Ron DeSantis has championed the law, emphasizing its role in strengthening Florida's immigration policies and supporting federal authorities. The legislation formalizes agreements between all 67 Florida sheriffs and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the 287(g) program, which enables local officers to enforce federal immigration laws.
