Florida lawmakers push for mandatory death penalty in immigration crackdown
The death penalty provision is included in bills (HB 3C and SB 4C) that also criminalize undocumented immigrants over 18 who "knowingly" enter Florida after evading U.S. immigration officers. First-time offenders would face a nine-month jail sentence, while repeat offenses would be felonies with a minimum one-year prison sentence.
The capital punishment measure was among a suite of bills in a compromised plan both chambers are expected to vote on today.
