Immigration operation yields over 1,000 arrests in Florida
State and federal authorities on Wednesday announced what they called the largest immigration roundup by a state in U.S. history, resulting in more than 1,000 arrests across Florida. Dubbed Operation Tidal Wave, the effort was a joint operation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration officials. Authorities targeted individuals living in the state who had previously been ordered deported. The arrests come amid heightened immigration enforcement efforts by state leaders.
