One ACLUFL lawyer called Florida's S.B. 1718 'an attempt to scapegoat and terrorize vulnerable families and workers already burdened by the difficulty of the federal immigration process and to pick a fight with the federal government.'
Signed by DeSantis in May, the measure"is unconstitutional, xenophobic, and will increase the unlawful racial profiling of Florida's Black and Brown communities,"Paul R. Chavez, senior supervising attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center's Immigrant Justice Project—which filed the suit with the state and national ACLU as well as the American Immigration Council and Americans for Immigrant Justice.
As the American Immigration Council outlined in a series of tweets, this case focuses on the transportation portion of the law—though the group also emphasized that"Section 10 is just one part of S.B. 1718 that harms immigrant families.""I'm suing because this law harms our family and many others. We aren't doing anything to hurt anyone.
