Florida bill would allow families to sue for killings by illegal migrants, fine police refusing to work with ICE

by

A Republican Florida state lawmaker proposed a bill Monday that would open up opportunities for families to sue some local governments over killings committed by illegal immigrants.

The Shane Jones Act, which would expand on the Sunshine State’s staunch immigration laws, was authored in honor of its namesake who was killed in a traffic accident involving an alleged illegal immigrant in 2019.

Rep. Berny Jacques, who introduced the bill, said that Jones’ widowed wife Nikki helped inspire the bill, which would impose harsher restrictions on illegal immigrants and even law enforcement officials violating the state’s immigration policies.
