Florida Senator Blaise Ingoglia has introduced Senate Bill 1036, a bold step aimed at safeguarding Floridians from criminal migrants reentering the U.S. illegally. This legislation packs a punch: it toughens penalties for deported criminal migrants who commit felonies in Florida, escalating third-degree felonies to second-degree offenses with up to 15 years imprisonment. Second-degree felonies jump to first-degree with a max sentence of 30 years, and first-degree offenses become life felonies, meaning a life behind bars for these lawbreakers.

But that’s just the beginning. The bill also takes a stern stance against aiding transnational crime organizations, suggesting severe penalties including potential life sentences for those involved. If signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, SB 1036 is set to take effect on October 1, sending a clear message: Florida won’t tolerate criminal migrants roaming its streets.
But Senator Ingoglia isn’t stopping there. He’s also proposed a resolution urging the U.S. Secretary of State to label Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. These cartels, responsible for activities like drug and human trafficking, money laundering, and kidnapping, have even claimed American lives. The resolution highlights their role in the ongoing drug epidemic, citing Customs and Border Protection's seizure of staggering amounts of fentanyl – a crisis demanding immediate action.
Ingoglia’s efforts are a call to arms, signaling a need to protect Florida and combat criminal enterprises. It’s a rallying cry to support stringent measures against criminal migrants and transnational crime.
