Governor Ron DeSantis (R) released a statement after Fort Myers' city council voted against an agreement to have the police department work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying there is new state law that requires cooperation with the federal government.
The agreement would have allowed ICE to train local law enforcement officers to carry out federal immigration duties while they are carrying out their regular duties. The city council voted 3-3, resulting in the agreement not being adopted. One council member was not present. The Fort Myers police chief spoke in favor of the 287(g) agreement, while residents who spoke did not.
