Florida’s governor is steering clear of a growing rift between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and several of the state’s sheriffs.

Several Florida sheriffs say they feel betrayed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after receiving reports that the federal agency sent out recruitment letters to local deputies, the same officers who recently completed federal 287(g) immigration enforcement training.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is encouraging sheriffs and police chiefs in the state to fight to keep staff members as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seeks to recruit Florida officers who recently completed immigration-enforcement training.
