In a groundbreaking initiative dubbed Operation Tidal Wave, nearly 800 undocumented immigrants were arrested in a four-day collaboration between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local Florida law enforcement. This operation marks the first major partnership of its kind, aiming to address the ongoing immigration issues in the state. The arrests, which included individuals with criminal backgrounds, sparked protests from advocacy groups across Florida, highlighting the growing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement. This substantial crackdown on immigrant communities has drawn attention to the increasing number of detentions in areas like Central Florida, as officials prepare for potential future operations.
