Florida leads as state and local governments sign on for Trump’s mass deportations
- More than 500 local police departments and state agencies, nearly half from Florida, joined President Trump's mass deportation initiative as of May 2025.
- This expansion followed the Trump administration's efforts to increase cooperation with state and local agencies and a recent executive order targeting sanctuary jurisdictions.

- Authorities reported roughly 800 immigration arrests in under a week, while immigrant advocates criticized local involvement as unconstitutional and causing fear in communities.
- Florida's leading role suggests growing state-local participation in immigration enforcement, but officials acknowledge federal capacity limits may hinder deportation goals.
