A U.S. citizen from Georgia was detained under an ICE hold in Florida despite presenting proof of his citizenship, including a verified birth certificate. This incident took place against the backdrop of Florida’s new anti-immigration law, which has faced legal challenges. A federal judge previously issued a block on certain applications of this law, questioning the legitimacy of such arrests. The Florida Attorney General has called for law enforcement to cease immigration arrests and adhere to the judicial mandates. After being held for 48 hours, the man was eventually released, highlighting ongoing tensions around immigration enforcement and civil rights in the state.
