Florida lawmakers have passed a sweeping immigration bill, setting aside half a billion dollars in public funds to help carry out President Donald Trump’s crackdown on people in the country illegally.

Federal ICE officers were active in Oxnard Monday and Tuesday, according to police, while a nonprofit reported arrests around Ventura County.

In a display of force aimed at quickly increasing arrests and generating publicity, the administration targeted the nation’s largest city, where sanctuary policies limit official cooperation with ICE.

U.S. President Donald Trump's top homeland security official joined officers as they carried out an immigration arrest in New York City on Tuesday, the latest effort to promote Trump's nationwide crackdown as enforcement has intensified in recent days.

President Trump began his immigration crackdown with a flurry of executive orders. Immigration experts say they lay out how he hopes to transform enforcement at the southern U.S. border and beyond.

Federal authorities descended on the Big Apple early Tuesday morning to carry out their first major deportation raids in the city as part of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and members of other agencies zeroed in on illegal migrants about a week after Trump was sworn into office.
