Florida has rapidly expanded its immigration detention capacity and is now one of the top states for ICE enforcement activity. Federal habeas petitions are filed in Florida's three federal districts.
Florida has become one of the most active states for immigration enforcement. The state has more than 40 facilities used for immigration detention, making it second only to Texas in facility count. Florida's governor has actively supported federal enforcement efforts, offering state resources for immigration detention.
Major detention sites include the Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, the Glades County Detention Center, the Baker County Facility, and the Broward Transitional Center. Florida has also been the site of new experimental detention models, including a state-run facility in the Everglades.
The rapid expansion of detention in Florida has created growing demand for legal representation and habeas corpus advocacy for detained individuals across the state.
