FLORIDA IMMIGRANT COALITION v. UTHMEIFER

Location: Florida
Status: Ongoing
Last Update: April 2, 2025

What's at Stake

The ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ of Florida, ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ Immigrants’ Rights Project, and Americans for Immigrant Justice filed a federal lawsuit challenging Florida’s new extreme anti-immigrant law, Senate Bill 4C (SB 4C), which authorizes state and local law enforcement to imprison people based on their manner of entering the country — powers the Constitution reserves exclusively to the federal government.

The lawsuit is brought on behalf of the Farmworker Association of Florida (FWAF), the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC), and individual plaintiffs — including longtime Florida residents with pending federal immigration applications and with U.S. citizen family members who rely on their care.
