The University of Florida has joined the list of higher education institutions in that state partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out immigration enforcement on campus, officials told CBS News on Saturday.
“We can confirm that we have signed the 287(g) agreement,” a University of Florida spokesperson told CBS News. The agreement, which Gov. Ron DeSantis issued in February, allows law enforcement to act as immigration officers.
It was not immediately clear who at the University of Florida would act as immigration officers under this agreement and the school’s spokesperson did not provide additional comment. They did, however, confirm that eight students have had their visas revoked.
ummm, you don’t find illegal immigrants in universities, they are revoking valid visas of people the state doesn’t like anymore, probably for having opinions
While probably true, I can guarantee you can find people violating their visas on university campuses. Usually by working a job outside the restrictions imposed by their student visa. You also get people whose visas have expired hanging out on campus.
Are these people ICE should be targeting? No. But technically they’re currently in the country illegally.
Maybe Florida will one day drop off into the Atlantic like the hanging turd of America it is.
At least it is good to know which institutions were only pretending to be progressive
