Fort Myers Sparks Controversy with ICE Vote

In Fort Myers, Florida, a recent vote against a partnership with ICE led by Councilwoman Darla Bonk has stirred tensions. The plan, part of the 287(g) program, would have increased local police collaboration with federal immigration efforts. Bonk and her questions about its implications and legality swayed the vote, despite backlash from state officials like Governor Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) warning this violated state law. The debate highlighted issues of local autonomy, federal cooperation, and community safety, with Fort Myers set for a special meeting to revisit the decision.
