ET: The Florida Senate has passed a bill slated to ban so-called sanctuary city policies, and the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, is expected to sign it.
The new bill, dubbed SB 168, passed in a 22–18 vote on April 26, with only one Republican voting against the bill.
Republican Sen. Joe Gruters, who introduced the bill, said it re-establishes the “rule of law.” Sanctuary cities are locales that have enacted measures to prevent local officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
The bill requires state entities, local governmental entities, and law enforcement agencies to use their “best efforts to support the enforcement of federal immigration law.” It also prohibits restrictions from entities and agencies “on taking certain actions with respect to information regarding a person’s immigration status.”
Gruters, the state GOP chairman, said the bill only targets “the worst of the worst” and would only affect illegal immigrants who’ve been arrested and are the subject of a federal detainer.
Sen. Tom Lee, another Republican, said sanctuary city policies are a slap in the face for those who enter the United States legally.
