Florida is about to ban sanctuary cities. And it's not alone. At least 11 other states have taken similar steps.
At least 11 other states have taken similar steps.Florida's measure, passed by lawmakers last week, forbids law enforcement agencies and local governments from adopting policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis made the ban a campaign promise, and he's signaled his support for the bill, though his office hasn't said yet whether -- or when -- he's signing it.
The state also passed a measure in 2006 requiring local governments to submit an annual certification that they don't have sanctuary policies in order to receive government funds. And in 2017 the state's governor signed a bill that bans sanctuary policies at private colleges.
