Cruel anti-immigrant rhetoric and laws plague our Cruel anti-immigrant rhetoric and laws plague our state, aiming to stoke fear and make life in Florida more difficult for undocumented immigrants, their families, and their communities. But we will not back down. We will continue the fight, and we will squeeze the best out of Florida. We will continue to work every day to ensure immigrants in Florida receive the care they need. We will continue to promote laws and policies that protect all of Florida's immigrants. We will continue to create a culture of welcome for our neighbors in need. Florida has a proud history of welcoming immigrants, and our future prosperity depends on continuing down a path of welcome for Florida’s 4.5 million immigrant residents and for all those who seek safety and opportunity in the Sunshine State.
SB 1718 is a cruel and far-reaching anti-immigrati SB 1718 is a cruel and far-reaching anti-immigration bill that aims to stoke fear and make life in Florida more difficult not only for undocumented immigrants but also for their families, employers, friends, doctors, and anyone else who interacts with them. Rather than passing legislation that protects and empowers Floridians, the Florida Legislature has passed this bill which will have devastating effects on all people living in our state by criminalizing immigrants, American Citizens who support them, and Florida businesses that employ them.

An investigation at Florida’s Baker County Deten An investigation at Florida’s Baker County Detention Center found a pattern of extreme medical neglect, including undertreatment, incorrect treatment, and failure to attend to medical conditions, with life-threatening consequences for immigrants detained at the facility. Individuals detained at Baker have endured appalling conditions and abuses for years, with over 140 complaints filed since 2020. In order to protect people from further harm, the federal government must immediately terminate its contract with Baker County, fully close Baker County Detention Center, and release all people detained at Baker to their communities and loved ones.

There is no right to free legal representation in immigration proceedings and without AI Justice, which never charges for its services, countless adults and children without the means to hire an attorney would be forced to navigate our complex immigration system alone, essentially denying them the opportunity for justice.
