Funding for increased detention is not included in the Laken Riley Act. The Department of Homeland Security estimated that to enforce the law, ICE would need an additional 110,000 detention beds, 10,000 more enforcement and removal operations personnel, and 7,000 new government attorneys to handle immigration proceedings.

When somebody is booked into jail and if they have a detainer on them, ICE can ask the jail to serve a warrant on them and hold them for an extra 48 hours before ICE comes to take them into custody.

Ahead of the anticipated immigration enforcement, Florida sheriffs are conducting an inventory of available beds.
