Florida Funds Immigration Amid Disaster Costs | Orlando News
Description
Florida’s GOP-led budget committee just approved $240 million to fund the governor’s aggressive immigration enforcement — secretly diverted from general revenue and funneled into an emergency preparedness fund already stretched thin by hurricane bills. With over 590 immigration-related invoices still unpaid and only $84 million of promised federal funds received, the state is now facing a projected $1.5 billion deficit by 2027 — unless lawmakers act. Democrats slammed the delayed report and post-hoc spending, demanding transparency as Floridians recover from disasters.
