Doral is poised to formally align itself with the federal government on immigration enforcement, bringing the largest Venezuelan-American city in the country into the fold of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts.

On Wednesday, the Doral City Council is expected to authorize the city to partner with Immigration and Customs Enforcement through a program known as 287(g). The agreement would enable Doral police officers to perform limited immigration functions, including questioning, detaining and processing individuals suspected of violating immigration laws.

The potential agreement comes as Venezuelans have become the target of several immigration policies by the Trump administration, which has repeatedly described Venezuelan migrants in racist terms. The federal government has moved to strip hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans from lawfully obtained deportation protections and work permits. It also flew Venezuelans to a mega prison in El Salvador using wartime powers and without due process.

Doral officials told the Miami Herald that the partnership with ICE is not intended to criminalize immigrants who live in Doral. In the past, the 287(g) program has come under fire for enabling racial profiling and harassment of Latinos.

“The intention isn’t to detain anyone based on how they look,” Council Member Rafael Pineyro said. “We are obligated to follow federal and state laws, but the goal is not to target individuals based on appearance. Our focus remains on lawful enforcement, not profiling.”
