Florida's aggressive immigration enforcement campaign resulted in nearly 10,000 arrests by ICE in 2025, with state and local agencies making approximately 20,000 additional arrests. The enforcement effort has created significant operational challenges including severe detention facility overcrowding, allegations of improper jail practices where detainees were cycled through jails to restart ICE's three-day holding limit, and budget disputes with state lawmakers. Republican sheriffs and law enforcement officials have expressed concerns about the enforcement tactics targeting immigrants without criminal records.
