ACLU and Pro-Immigrant Groups Sue Florida Over New Anti-Immigration Law
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and various pro-immigrant organizations have initiated a federal lawsuit against Florida over a new law that criminalizes entering the state illegally. The law, which has drawn significant criticism, is seen by advocates as an attack on immigrants' rights and a move towards state-level immigration enforcement.
The lawsuit, filed in Miami, challenges Senate Bill 4C, which was recently signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. Critics argue that the legislation not only targets undocumented immigrants but also imposes harsh penalties on those who assist them, such as providing transportation or shelter. The ACLU, along with other groups, contends that the law oversteps federal authority and violates the U.S. Constitution.
The controversy around the law has also reached Jacksonville, where a similar local ordinance served as a model for the statewide measure. Immigrant advocates are rallying against what they perceive as an unjust policy, urging the courts to block its implementation. The outcome of this legal battle could set a precedent for how states address immigration issues in the future.
