U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Florida
Tampa – United States Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez and Acting Miami Field Office Director Jim Martin, of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) announced today their ongoing commitment to combat illegal immigration and reduce violent crime.
“Our Office is committed to using every tool available to keep our communities safe,” said U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez. “The ongoing cooperation demonstrated by our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners in the Middle District of Florida in supporting our nation’s immigration enforcement policies have assisted us in working toward our mission – public safety for all.”
“Citizens and guests of Florida are safer today because of strong law enforcement partnerships at the local, state, and federal level,” said acting Miami Field Office Director Jim Martin. “Partnerships like the 287g program, the Warrant Service Officer program, and the Basic Ordering Agreement partnerships work to keep criminals out of our local communities, while our United States Attorney Office works diligently to make sure those individuals are held accountable for their crimes.”
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida (USAO-MDFL), along with our federal, state, and local partners, is engaged in ongoing cooperation and coordination to prioritize and enforce the Department’s policies. In addition, since 2009, ICE has designated Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys to assist the USAO-MDFL in reviewing and prosecuting cases related to threats against our homeland, including immigration offenses, illegal reentry, and violent crime.
