You would think so, but I've worked on a case within the last year where a federal judge held the opposite with respect to housing. The judge ruled that even though landlords don't check for immigration status, are not required to check, and even though the government knowingly rents to undocumented immigrants, it's potentially illegal to rent without checking immigration status.If the government wants to ignore the law and force punishment on you anyways, theres not much you can do. That doesnt make optimizing for fair enforcement irrelevant though.
There's no doubt that Florida will ask for the same analysis and that there are judges in Florida and the 11th Circuit willing to reach that conclusion. And whatever they decide will apply to housing, sheltering, transportation, and employment.

So when's DeSantis getting arrested for that Martha's Vineyard stunt?Never? That predates this, and even with this law, it would be legal to transport them from a non-Florida state to another non-Florida state.

Still dont get how he isnt in any trouble for sending perfectly legal refugees to a place that cant house them, charging insane prices as well.Little more fucked cus were some states making it illegal to travel state lines to get abortions? But doing this is perfectly fine?

You think the people supporting this bill are going to know or care that Puerto Ricans are American citizens?fair
The last guy Republicans voted for didn't even know he was their president.
This is the real scary part. How are people supposed to travel across the country when they could be pedophiliac murderers guilty of 10 felonies in one state and completely upstanding citizens in the next? Republicans can pretend to be appalled for a minute when MTG suggests secession, but they clearly want to fracture the country. If it's not to leave the union, it's certainly so they can go "Look at the godless heathens in the liberal states and their moral decay! We have a duty to bring all of them back to God as we have in red states!" and then force this shit on everyone nationwide the minute they get the Presidency and Congress.
There is no way America isn't collapsing soon and hundreds of millions of people will suffer.
they're even trying to prosecute people for actions they took in another state that were legal under that other state's laws and federal lawsAt the very least, this sort of thing and the dogpile of abortion laws may finally put an end to extra-territorial bullshittery.
Fucking Yahtzee scum running the GOP
At the very least, this sort of thing and the dogpile of abortion laws may finally put an end to extra-territorial bullshittery.Wouldn't be the first time one state was forced to enforce the laws of another state. That's what the Fugitive Slave Laws were all about, and I don't see the current SCOTUS doing anything against these abortion laws with that in mind.
Also youd think this would piss off the Cuban and PR communitiesWell, both of those groups are effectively excluded from immigration law. Cubans have long been given an easier process, wet foot/dry foot, etc. as a means of "standing up to the Castro regime" or something. And Puerto Ricans are US citizens.
I imagine the bill doesn't apply to corporations that DeSantis approves of?
He's going after trump with disProbably.
