Florida grand jury calls on state to track immigration status of arrestees in response to migrant crisis

A Florida grand jury is calling for legislation to track the immigration status of those arrested in the state, after a lengthy report documenting the effects of the migrant crisis.

DeSantis filed a petition last year to the Florida Supreme Court, requesting it "impanel a statewide grand jury to examine international human smuggling networks that bring aliens to the southern border, and ultimately to Florida." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Previous reports have been scathing of the handling of the crisis by the federal government, including accusing the Biden administration of a "complete abdication of responsibility" for the welfare of children. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
