Trump 47: Immigration

May Day protests planned for Thursday in South Florida and across the nation are aiming at scolding President Donald Trump for his administration's deportation policies, massive layoffs of federal worker and drastic funding cuts to scores of federal government programs.

A handful of Florida universities, including UF, are now officially signed on to have campus cops help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, while faculty at three universities have asked for a halt to the program.

An ICE spokesperson acknowledged the structure, after South Florida U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilsont said she saw a “tent city” at the Krome North Service Processing Center during her visit last week.

After Donald Trump's historic Republican performance with Latino voters in last November's presidential election, two new polls find him in a deep hole with that swing bloc just 100 days into his second presidency.

As President Donald Trump sought to make good on his campaign pledge of mass arrests and removals of migrants, Krome, the United States' oldest immigration detention facility and one with a long history of abuse, saw its prisoner population recently swell to nearly three times its capacity of 600.

A group of Latino Miami-Dade Democrats is calling out “four traitorous Republican Cuban-American politicians” — with a billboard ad campaign — for failing to protect tens of thousands of immigrants in South Florida from being deported under the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement policies.

Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz says her deputies will be getting trained to work with federal immigration authorities “to get very bad criminals off of our streets” as part of an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to carry out President Donald Trump’s aggressive plan to deport undocumented immigrants.

The operation began Monday and targeted immigrants living in the country illegally with final deportation orders, according to an ICE official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the operation. The officers picked up more than 275 migrants with final removal orders, the data showed.

Government lawyers said the federal government is reversing the termination of legal status for international students after many filed court challenges around the U.S.

Miami is deferring a request by its police chief to grant some cops immigration law enforcement powers, a controversial measure being pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis to help the federal government increase deportations sought by President Donald Trump.

Getting rid of judges adds to criticism of the Trump administration for not giving migrants or noncitizens enough due process before they're deported.

Bukele proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela on Sunday, suggesting he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States for what he called "political prisoners" in Venezuela.
