Doral City Under Pressure Over Immigration Enforcement Agreement and Business Impacts
What happened
Doral is embroiled in controversy regarding its 287(g) agreement with federal agencies, which assists in the detention of migrants who are alleged to be present illegally. The city council approved this agreement unanimously in April 2025. The city is currently facing pressure from various groups, including the campaign of Donald Trump, which utilizes ICE operations. Democratic leaders are calling on the city council to rescind the agreement, which has led to local businesses reporting sales declines of up to 70%.
