A federal judge has blocked part of a Florida law that required local police to cross state lines to help federal immigration authorities, but left in place a provision where the officers would have to detain illegal immigrants until the feds come to collect them.
Miami U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom issued the order on Monday, Sept. 30, according to the Miami Herald. She wrote in the order that the law “leaves numerous cooperative avenues open for law enforcement officers to participate in the immigration efforts of federal officers.”
