Under plans outlined Thursday by local officials, the administration would release more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants per month between Broward and Palm Beach Counties, pending an asylum hearing.
By Isaac Stanley-Becker Isaac Stanley-Becker Reporter based in the U.K. Email Bio Follow May 17 at 5:48 AM Florida officials are raising alarm, and pressing for details, about the purported intention of the Trump administration to send hundreds of immigrants a week to two heavily Democratic counties in South Florida.
As arrests at the border continue to increase — threatening to derail the immigration agenda that has formed the cornerstone of President Trump’s domestic policy — South Florida officials said they have been told to expect the arrival twice a week of 135 asylum seekers, rerouted from the El Paso area. That is equivalent to about 1,000 people per month, divided between the two counties.
Broward and Palm Beach Counties lie next to one another on the state’s Atlantic coast. Neither has sanctuary status limiting cooperation with immigration authorities — a status that would in fact be outlawed under a measure recently advanced by the state legislature. The swath of South Florida comprising Broward and Palm Beach Counties is host to a number of Border Patrol stations, including one in West Palm Beach where authorities said the migrants would be processed, given a notice to appear and then released.
The sheriff said he was worried about the criminal backgrounds of the immigrants, as well as about the ability of public and charitable institutions to cope with the new arrivals. “We think it’s a danger to this community,” he said.
