The University of Florida has joined the list of higher education institutions in that state partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out immigration enforcement on campus, officials told CBS News on Saturday.

“We can confirm that we have signed the 287(g) agreement,” a University of Florida spokesperson told CBS News. The agreement, which Gov. Ron DeSantis issued in February, allows law enforcement to act as immigration officers.

It was not immediately clear who at the University of Florida would act as immigration officers under this agreement and the school’s spokesperson did not provide additional comment. They did, however, confirm that eight students have had their visas revoked.

    advocating for them is always a good thing; my life has been heavily impacted by people like them and this is why i responded to your comment.

    you’re seeing for yourself how misinformation can be spread (assuming that you didn’t already know) and, to drive this point home: leftists are called as such (outside the west) because they adhere to writings of people from the past that have analyzed, studied, and trial/errored on their strategies. the term leftists is co-opted heavily in the west and especially so in the united states; so when you encounter an “overzealous leftist” know that they’re not ascribing that any of those texts because those texts advocate for that same grace that you’re wondering if you should afford to them.

    i think of them as left-maga since they know as much about leftism as trump’s maga does about politics or history.
