Florida’s Governor is griping about the Department of Homeland Security looking to “poach” local and state law enforcement for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Sheriffs losing deputies who are in this fight to just wear a different jersey, basically, but still be in the fight, that doesn’t necessarily add to what we’re doing. It’s just moving someone over,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday.
However, there are salient material reasons why someone would put on a “different jersey,” given the sweet deal D.C. is dangling in front of current cops.
ICE is offering benefits that can’t be matched locally, in what it calls a “robust package of federal law enforcement incentives, including a “maximum $50,000 signing bonus.” Depending on how hiring progresses, it could exacerbate long-term shortages in law enforcement agencies.
