U.S. federal immigration agents in Florida have announced Operation Tidal Wave, a first-of-its-kind coordinated effort with state police that\u2019s seeking to arrest 800 undocumented immigrants this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some 230 Florida law enforcement agencies have signed on to an initiative that allows ICE to deputize officers to act as immigration agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other news, in the U.S. state of Vermont, agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection raided the state\u2019s largest dairy farm, arresting eight immigrant workers who\u2019ve since been jailed at the Northwest State Correctional Facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
