Miami residents flooded a City Commission meeting last week to demand that the city exit its 287(g) agreement<\/a> with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Three of five commissioners signaled openness to exiting the agreement, marking a shift from the 2025 vote that enrolled the city in the program.<\/p>\n

Here are key takeaways:<\/p>\n

More than 50 people spoke against the 287(g) agreement, which empowers local police to carry out some federal immigration enforcement actions, including arresting people suspected of violating immigration law.Commissioners Christine King, Rolando Escalona and Damian Pardo said they would be willing to exit the agreement if it can be done legally. Escalona grew emotional and said that while he is a proponent of law and order, \u201cI think we\u2019re going too far.\u201dCity Attorney George Wysong warned that exiting the agreement could cost Miami roughly $7.5 million in annual state funding. King responded: \u201c$7.5 million is worth saving a life, a family.\u201dCity Manager James Reyes said only two Miami police officers are currently trained under 287(g) and that immigration status has played no role in any charges or detainers since the agreement was signed.Florida leads the nation with 375 active 287(g) agreements, and Attorney General James Uthmeier has previously threatened officials in Fort Myers and Key West with removal from office for rejecting such deals.<\/p>\n
