Florida SB 168 (2019) prohibits sanctuary policies and requires state and local agencies to honor federal immigration detainers and cooperate with ICE. Miami complies; the city does not have, and cannot adopt, a sanctuary policy.
Florida SB 168, signed in June 2019 and codified in Florida Statutes Sections 908.101 through 908.111, prohibits any state entity or local government from adopting sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The law requires jails to honor ICE detainer requests and allow ICE access to detainees. Florida HB 1718 (2023) added employer E-Verify mandates and stiffer penalties for transporting undocumented persons. The City of Miami complies; Miami Police Department permits routine cooperation with federal immigration officials, and Miami-Dade County jails honor ICE detainers. Officials adopting sanctuary policies risk removal from office, civil penalties up to $5,000 per day, and personal liability under Section 908.107.
Officials who adopt sanctuary policies face removal by the Governor, civil penalties up to $5,000 per day, and personal liability for damages under Section 908.107. Agencies that fail to honor detainers may be sued by the Attorney General.
