Good Morning,
Have any agencies written policies and procedures regarding Senate Bill 4C (2025C) and how they are dealing with unauthorized aliens who enter our state? If so, can you please share them with me?
Thanks,
Sarah Geohagan
We are waiting on some things to be vetted first. Here are some concerns thus far:
1. The applicable misdemeanor charges are not a misdemeanor exception, so unless an officer witnesses the crossing into Florida, it didn’t occur in the officer’s presence.
2. It’s a felony if you have prior deportations, but you won’t know that without access to an ICE database.
3. Without access to the ICE database, you can’t tell whether or not a person has been granted unauthorized alien lawful presence by the Federal Government.
4. Some terminology is not defined by state statute or Federal law yet.I’m sure that these things will be cleared up in the near future, but I would be cautious about enforcement activity until it is further clarified.
