ICE raids

The fund will give grants of up to $1,000 per household to cover essential expenses such as food, rent, utilities, childcare, medication, and school supplies. Assistance is restricted to families residing in Doral and does not cover legal fees or bond.

The increase began in June and accelerated in July, with less public exposure than during Trump's first year. Texas and Florida accounted for nearly 20,000 of the July arrests.

Critics say it is the reason why more detainees are risking their lives to protest inhumane conditions and legal rights violations, in the form of widespread hunger strikes.

Authorities say a man running from an encounter with immigration and other federal agents in Florida was struck and killed by a tractor trailer. The 28-year-old was among four occupants of a vehicle that stopped in the parking lot of a gas station and convenience store in St. Augustine before 7 a.m. on Tuesday.

Demonstrators packed Miami City Hall to discuss the city's participation in a 287(g) agreement that deputizes Miami police to do immigration enforcement.

In 2014, Michael Barfield sued the City of Sarasota after officials refused to hand over public records they said were under federal control. He told WUSF it's the same argument being made now by ICE directives.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees are taking their own lives at a pace that's unprecedented in the agency's two-decade history, highlighting what experts call failures in care and oversight. An Associated Press investigation finds that at least 10 ICE detainees have died by suicide since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025 and ordered ICE to increase arrests and deportations.

A Minnesota county prosecutor has charged an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the state.

Since March 2025, at least 15 Florida public universities and colleges, including the University of Florida and Florida State College at Jacksonville, have signed memorandums of agreement for their campus police departments to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Florida has become a model for how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, wants to conduct its enforcement: using quieter tactics and collaborating with local police. It comes after outrage and unrest in Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed two protestors.

Organizers say more than 3,100 events, including more than two dozen in South Florida, from the Keys to Palm Beach County, have been registered in all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate.
