AI Summary
- Law enforcement agencies in Florida are now required to support the enforcement of federal immigration law, removing previous "best efforts" language that allowed discretion
- County correctional facilities and the Department of Corrections must securely transport individuals subject to immigration detainers to federal facilities or transfer points, changing this from a discretionary ("may") to a mandatory ("shall") action
- Transfers of detained individuals to federal immigration custody may occur no earlier than 12 days before a person's release date, and judicial authorization is required before transporting anyone to a transfer point outside Florida
- Protections for crime victims and witnesses from immigration information sharing are narrowed to apply only to offenses that occurred in Florida and have an ongoing investigation or prosecution, rather than applying broadly to all victims and witnesses
- The exemption for undocumented individuals who are victims or witnesses of serious crimes (e.g., domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, murder) is similarly narrowed to require an ongoing investigation or prosecution in Florida
