- Florida asks 11th Circuit to revive state law criminalizing the transport of immigrants
Florida is appealing an injunction blocking its 2023 law (SB 1718), which criminalizes transporting individuals who illegally entered the U.S. and were not inspected by federal authorities. The 11th Circuit is reviewing whether the law conflicts with federal immigration authority, with judges questioning if it is preempted by existing federal statutes. The Farmworker Association of Florida argues the law is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, fearing felony charges for transporting farmworkers.
