Human Rights Board Could Investigate Pinellas ICE Detention Policies: Reports

Using data from the Deportation Data Project, ProPublica found that “over the past year, jails in both Pinellas County and in Orange County, Florida, had unusually high numbers of repeat rebookings of immigrants held for ICE compared with other jails nationwide” to get around this law.

From July 2025 to July of this year, the Pinellas County Jail rebooked 174 immigrants at least twice, while the Orange County Jail in Orlando rebooked 559 immigrants at least twice from July 2025 until early February, ProPublica found.
