The University of Florida has joined the list of higher education
institutions in that state partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out immigration enforcement on campus,
officials told CBS News on Saturday.

"We can confirm that we have signed the 287(g) agreement," a University of Florida spokesperson told CBS News. The agreement, which Gov. Ron DeSantis issued in February, allows law enforcement to act as immigration officers.

It was not immediately clear who at the University of Florida would act as immigration officers under this agreement and the school's spokesperson
did not provide additional comment. They did, however, confirm that eight students have had their visas revoked.

The agreement allows local officers to question those they suspect of
being in the country illegally and "to serve and execute warrants of
arrest for immigration violations," according to a February statement from DeSantis.

Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and the University of South
Florida in Tampa are all seeking to deputize their campus police for immigration enforcement, representatives for the schools confirmed to The Associated Press.

Joshua Glanzer, a spokesperson for FAU, said "all state schools" in
Florida are expected to pursue the expanded immigration enforcement
authority.

"We are simply following guidance from the Governor's Feb. 19 directive to state law enforcement agencies, of which FAUPD and other state university police departments are included," Glanzer said in a statement.

Under a 287(g) task force model, such as the agreement being pursued by
the University of Florida, participating officers would have the authority
to interrogate "any alien or person believed to be an alien" about their
right to remain in the country, as well as the power to make arrests
without a warrant in some cases.

The Trump administration has continued to target foreign nationals who are affiliated with universities in the U.S. On Friday, an immigration judge
in Louisiana allowed the Trump administration to move forward with its
effort to deport Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, upholding
one of the deportation grounds cited by the government. Khalil, a vocal
member of the protests at Columbia University over the war in Gaza, was arrested in early March by ICE outside of his New York City apartment,
where he lived with his pregnant U.S. citizen wife.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
