(The Center Square) — Gov. Ron DeSantis signed several agreements between state law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday to deputize them as part of immigration enforcement statewide.

The 287(g) agreements were reached with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Florida State Guard.

“Florida is setting the example for states in combating illegal immigration and working with the Trump Administration to restore the rule of law,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Tallahassee. “By allowing our state agents and law enforcement officers to be trained and approved by ICE, Florida will now have more enforcement personnel deputized to assist federal partners. That means deportations can be carried out more efficiently, making our communities safer as illegal aliens are removed.”

A similar agreement is already in effect with the Florida Highway Patrol, along with the Florida Department of Agricultural Law Enforcement.

These agreements allow state law enforcement to perform immigration officer functions, which includes identifying and removing incarcerated criminal foreign nationals who are eligible for removal before they are rereleased into the community.

Sworn officers will have the ability under the 287(g) agreements to interrogate any suspected illegal alien as to their immigration status. If they’re in violation of the country’s immigration laws, they can be further detained and processed. 

These officers will also be able to arrest and detain any foreign national trying to enter the country through the state’s ports or coastline.

They will also have the power to serve and execute warrants of arrest for immigration violations and deliver migrants to ICE for further screening. 

Florida state law enforcement and State Guard members will also be able to administer oaths and take evidence during processing and prepare affidavits and the taking of sworn statements for ICE supervisory review.

SUMMARY: Father’s Day weather in South Florida featured warm, sunny conditions with mostly clear skies. Rain chances remained low, confined mainly to the morning with isolated interior showers later. Overnight, light showers could drift across the Keys, and smoke from a brush fire near Krome Avenue and Tamiami Trail may affect areas between Krome and the Turnpike by Monday morning. Temperatures will drop into the upper 70s overnight, with daytime highs near 90°F throughout the week. UV levels are high as summer begins. Breezy conditions may create choppy waters, and rain chances increase slightly to 20% by mid-to-late week.

CBS News Miami’s NEXT Weather Meteorologist Dave Warren says expect mostly clear skies for the rest of Father’s Day but prepare to be possibly impacted by the smoke from the wildfire in Southwest Miami-Dade in the morning before the breeze pushes it more inland.

SUMMARY: Two European satellites from the European Space Agency have created the first artificial solar eclipses by flying in precise formation 492 feet apart, simulating total solar eclipses to study the sun’s corona. Dubbed Proba-3, the \$210 million mission has already produced 10 successful eclipses since March, with scientists aiming for up to 200 over two years. This mission is unique because the eclipse-blocking disk and observing telescope are on separate spacecraft, offering unprecedented views of the sun’s outer atmosphere. Preliminary results have exceeded expectations, providing stunning images and aiding research on solar phenomena like coronal mass ejections and geomagnetic storms.

SUMMARY: Many young children develop lisps as they learn to speak, often outgrowing them naturally. Katie Nelson’s lisp, characterized by “R” and “S” sound difficulties, persisted beyond early childhood, impacting her clarity and confidence. After unsuccessful group therapy, her mother sought help from speech therapist Kristal Ray, who used a mouth puppet to show proper tongue placement. This visual approach quickly corrected Katie’s “gliding” disorder, improving her speech, reading, and self-esteem. Ray advises parents to monitor speech clarity by ages 2-4 and seek therapy if understanding is delayed, as untreated speech issues can hinder literacy development.
