The city of Doral, Florida, which has the largest Venezuelan population in the United States, is moving forward with a controversial agreement to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The proposed deal would empower the local police to perform immigration enforcement duties, including questioning and detaining individuals suspected of violating immigration laws. Doral's mayor, Cristi Fraga, stated that the agreement is a state requirement in response to federal government actions. While some view the partnership as a necessary legal obligation, others in the community consider it a betrayal, given the city's significant Venezuelan immigrant population. The vice mayor of Doral has argued that the collaboration with ICE will help build public trust. The city council is expected to vote on the agreement soon, which would mark a notable shift in local law enforcement's role in immigration control.
