Those seeking asylum would have been sent to Palm Beach and Broward counties while their cases worked their way through backlogged immigration courts.
The Trump administration dropped its plan to send hundreds of undocumented immigrants to Palm Beach and Broward counties in Florida, local officials said Saturday.
In order to successfully make an asylum claim, applicants must prove that they fear persecution in their home country on grounds of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or social group. It appears that only those who were filing asylum claims would have been relocated into the communities. Earlier in the week, Gov Ron. De Santis, a conservative ally of President Donald Trump, also criticized Customs and Border Protection and said he planned to discuss the issue with the commander-in-chief.
