On July 1, a new immigration law (SB 1718) enters into force in Florida, which will affect undocumented immigrants living in the state, as well as those who try to enter the state.
In general terms, SB 1718 includes measures that will affect immigrants with unregulated immigration status in the areas of employment, identification, transportation, and health. That is why various organizations and migrants have organized peaceful protests in various parts of Florida.
