Nearly 800 immigrants held in Florida in a week

Immigration and customs enforcement officers, along with state law enforcement officials, arrested about 780 immigrants in Florida in an operation this past week, according to ICE data obtained by NYT. The operation began Monday and targeted immigrants living in the country illegally with final deportation orders, according to an ICE official. The officers picked up more than 275 migrants with final removal orders, the data showed. ABC News and Fox News earlier reported news of the arrests, which took place over four days. It was the latest move by Trump govt to seek to accelerate deportations of immigrants living in the country illegally, which have so far been well below the administration's goals. The effort in Florida was the first to be conducted as part of a formal arrangement with state law enforcement known as a 287(g) agreement, according to the official.
