In what authorities are calling the largest immigration enforcement sweep in Florida’s history, 1,120 individuals were allegedly apprehended for being in the country illegally during a multi-agency operation known as “Operation Tidal Wave.

MIRAMAR — A six-day immigration sweep in Florida law week resulted in the arrest of 1,120 people across the state, an operation that state and federal officials described Thursday as the largest of its kind to date and a “warm up” for future immigration enforcement operations.

"We can absolutely deputize judge advocates from our National Guard units to serve as immigration judges," Governor Ron DeSantis said at a press conference.
