FL GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the detention of more than 1,100 criminal immigrants in a statewide sweep, known as the tide aver wave.
The campaign “sends upcoming messages. The United States is serious about implementing immigration laws,” declared Desantis.
ICE has released a follow-up report revealing the number of offences inmates detained, including 437 criminals from Guatemala, 280 from Mexico, 153 from Honduras, 48 from Venezuela, 24 from El Salvador and 178 from elsewhere.
Many of those detained last week have been identified with gang members.
Watch – Mirrors become core with media.
Those arrested include Ciro Ramon Castaneda Perez and Carlos Eduardo Perez Perez. MS-13 Gangbanger Rafael Juarez Cabrera; Luis Melito Gonzalez Arerano, a member of the Mexican brown pride stica gang. 18th Street Gang member Aron Isaak Morazan Izaguirre; Miguel Rodriguez Gonzalez, member of the Barrio Aztec Gang.
Desantis warned last week in X, “The tide vibration is an example of a partnership between FL and DHS that has major consequences regarding immigration enforcement and deportation.”
Larry Keefe, executive director of the state Immigration Executive Committee, added that this would be more than just a promotional move, but it would be an ongoing program.
“It's not just a series of surges and operations and press conferences. It's going to be a lasting and lasting effort,” Keefe said in a presser Thursday.
ICE Deputy Director Madison Xiahan also warned that illegal immigration is a crime.
“If you enter this country illegally, you are a criminal,” Xiahan said. “You will be deported, you will have the opportunity to return to this country through the right immigration process. We work through them every day, but our number one goal is to keep American people safe from criminals who have walked through this country that we shouldn't have passed through in the first place.”

DeSantis also said he asked the federal government to allow the Florida State Guard to work as immigration judges to support the federal government's deportation efforts.
“We have both the National Guard and the National Guard who are used to dealing with different types of contingencies. We are ready, willing to take it to the next level, and we can bring it with us,” Desantis said. I said Thursday. “We submitted plans to DHS. If this is approved, we'll be able to go out to race and really do everything from soups to nuts.”
“From anxiety to detention, even let some of our people be in the National Guard and serve as immigration judges to handle this,” he added. “We can do that. And I say you've heard a lot about the due process. We have tens of thousands of illegal aliens in Florida, where they're finally issued a final removal order.”
DeSantis also said he would like to expand the state's detention facilities.
“If you get sign-off from DHS, you can expand your detention space in Florida very quickly,” Desantis I said. “So think about it. People based in Florida, when there's a hurricane, we're going to set up a location for tens of thousands of linemen, and we can do that very quickly.
“The operational success of arresting more than 1,100 criminal illegal aliens last week was a cooperative government effort by federal, state and local law enforcement partners in Florida,” ICE Deputy Director Madison Xiahan said in a statement. “Every day, our officers are united in a determination to take them on the streets and risk their lives to arrest and eliminate dangerous criminals, cross-border gang members, and foreign fugitives who have illegally entered the United States, restoring integrity to our country's immigration system and strengthening the public safety of all Americans.”
Florida leads the country in a 287(g) partnership. This force summary program is named in section 287(g)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Act allows the function of a particular immigration officer to be delegated to state and local law enforcement officers under the direction and supervision of the agency.

“Florida has argued that Florida is the tip of the spear when it comes to supporting states for federal immigration enforcement. The success of the tide of operations is evidence of our commitment.” “Florida is proud to work closely with the Trump administration to support our 2024 mission from the United States to ensure our borders are secured and to comply with immigration laws. We will continue to engage in extensive enforcement efforts. Your contribution to this effort.”
“There is no place for dangerous criminals in our country. We apply the collective intelligence and operational capabilities of CBP to target citizens and those who are at risk here their own enforcement efforts with DHS and Florida law enforcement partners are leveraging their own authorities to protect against threats. We all look forward to continuing our important partnership with Florida, working towards a common goal of keeping our communities safe and secure.”
