Episode description
The Florida Highway Patrol has taken up the Trump administration’s call for state and local law enforcement to play a bigger role in its immigration crackdown. Virtually all its officers have been trained to participate in a controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement program that deputizes police to perform some of the duties of federal immigration officers. WSJ’s Arian Campo-Flores takes us along for a ride with some officers in the program. Jessica Mendoza hosts.
