Florida Rights Groups Sue over Law Cracking Down on Immigrant Communities

HeadlineJul 21, 2023

In more news from Florida, rights groups are suing over S.B. 1718, a new law targeting immigrants, making it more difficult to work and get medical care, among other things. One in five Florida residents is an immigrant. In a statement, the ACLU of Florida said, “This legislation is not the solution to any problem. It is an attempt to scapegoat and terrorize vulnerable families and workers already burdened by the difficulty of the federal immigration process.”
