Over 100 Migrant Workers Detained in Florida Immigration Raid A large-scale immigration raid in Florida resulted in the detention of more than 100 migrant workers, primarily employed in construction. The operation, conducted jointly by state and federal agents, took place at a construction site in Tallahassee. Videos circulating online show agents using force against some of the workers. "Videos of the operation show agents pursuing and using force against several workers," reported Dámaris Morán, a journalist for RedaccionSanLuis. Many of those detained stated their sole purpose was to find work and support themselves. The incident has prompted outrage from pro-immigrant organizations who argue that the raid was excessively aggressive and showed a lack of consideration for the workers' contributions to the local economy. The organizations have called for a review of Florida's immigration detention and deportation practices. The raid highlights the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies in the state. The incident underscores the challenges faced by migrant workers in the United States and the need for humane and just immigration enforcement.
