1 25-4039 Requesting the City Manager to direct the Chief of Police to terminate the 287(g) voluntary Memorandum of Agreement with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement signed March 4, 2025; Requesting the City Manager and Chief of Police refrain from entering into any new agreements under Florida Statute 908 until the courts have ruled on the obligations imposed on local governments; Affirming the requirements under state and federal law that Key West Police Department assist federal immigration enforcement activities where requested; Affirming that the City of Key West is not a sanctuary city.
ICE Says they do not need probable cause to stop someone and ask for immigration information. Does the KWPD agree?
What officers are assigned to Immigration enforcement?
Will they wear name tags and show proper identification that can read?
What guidelines are being used for an immigration stop?
What documentation is being kept of the encounter? (name, date of birth, country, status, documentation shown, etc?)
Who authorized the KWPD to sign 287(g)?
ICE says that any entry into the US is an illegal entry and therefore a crime and thus the person can be detained, regardless of current legal status (TPS, Court, Asylum). Does the City Council and the KWPD agree?
Our participation in this agreement signals support of the current state and federal government's inhumane and unconstitutional round up of our friends and neighbors. We shout One Human Family from the dais and across the island...let's make sure our actions are in alignment. I urge you to stand with your island family and terminate this agreement immediately.
