ICE operations in Doral, Florida

Overview

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Doral, Florida, have caused significant disruptions to the local economy and daily life, particularly within the Venezuelan community. Increased federal presence has led to a decline in commercial activity and a “ghost town” atmosphere, with residents expressing fear regarding commuting and school attendance.

Doral Councilman Rafael Piñeiro criticized the raids as “something inhumane and incorrect,” noting their negative impact on individuals without criminal records. In response to the situation, Mayor Christi Fraga denied that the city shares resident information with ICE, stating the municipal government learns of operations through social media and resident reports. While the mayor noted that Florida law prevents Doral from declaring itself a sanctuary city, public records indicate a Task Force model 287(g) agreement was signed in January 2026.
