Florida Mayor Claims ICE Transporting Detainees to Restart Jail Time Limits

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and immigration attorneys alleged that federal authorities have been transporting detained migrants around town before rebooking them into local jails the same day to reset a three-day detention limit. The practice has raised concerns about detention practices in Florida's immigration enforcement system, which has operated under aggressive policies under Governor Ron DeSantis.
