A new GOP bill in the Florida Legislature proposes mandatory death penalty for illegal immigrants convicted of capital crimes, aligning state law with the Trump administration's stance on immigration enforcement. The bill, known as the TRUMP Act, also includes stricter penalties for crimes committed by illegal immigrants, increased collaboration with ICE, and expanded sanctions against sanctuary jurisdictions.
New additions to a GOP bill in the Florida Legislature would require the death penalty for illegal immigrants convicted of capital crimes.
“Last night, we requested and received technical assistance from the Trump Administration,” he wrote. “We made specific improvements to the TRUMP Act to further align state law with the renewed and expanded enforcement of federal immigration law under President Trump. Below you will find an outline of the enhancements we will incorporate on the Floor later today. “
The TRUMP Act would also expand a current prohibition on sanctuary jurisdictions by including fines and penalties for areas that give immigration officials the cold shoulder.
