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.

ummm, you don’t find illegal immigrants in universities, they are revoking valid visas of people the state doesn’t like anymore, probably for having opinions

While probably true, I can guarantee you can find people violating their visas on university campuses. Usually by working a job outside the restrictions imposed by their student visa. You also get people whose visas have expired hanging out on campus.

Are these people ICE should be targeting? No. But technically they’re currently in the country illegally.

You definitely do find undocumented students at universities. There’s a whole name for them and legislation that has attempted to protect them.

Visa revocation is also a thing they are doing though.

DACA isn’t “undocumented”.

You do know what “documented” means, right?

Edit: Just to clarify, “Dreamers” arrive in the US as undocumented when their parents bring them here. They become documented when they enroll in DACA. Documentation ≠ citizenship.

They don’t know how the fuck to read so of course they fucking don’t. Treat every fucking person like that as if they are too stupid to chew food without being told by their king orange turd how to do it.

Dreamers are undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children, lived and attended school here, and identify as American.

I’m sure threatening current and prospective students will help with declining enrolments.

No fucking shit WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE SUPPORTING FLORIDA?

From AOC going on vacation there during Covid to woke retards going to school there despite EVERYTHING FLORIDA DOES TO PEOPLE…

With friends like you all who the fuck needs enemies? Y’all are going to be the people telling everyone else to get on the trains because it’s easier and not that bad.

If you vacation to Florida, yes even Disney, if you SPEND ANY FUCKING MONEY IN THAT FASCIST STATE, blame your fucking selves!

I’m so sick of this idiotic shit from at least half of my country. My own family members who are gay went to Florida for vacation. I’m surrounded by fucking idiots who deserve the fate they get.
