Local Law Enforcement Immigration Grant Program

The Local Law Enforcement Immigration Grant Program is administered by the State Board of Immigration Enforcement through the SBIE Immigration Grant Program. The opportunity is supported with State funding and provides a total of $250,000,000 for eligible local entities. The stated purpose is to provide funds for local law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities for cooperation and coordination with federal immigration agencies in the enforcement of federal immigration laws. The opportunity was posted on August 1, 2025, as an initial announcement. Funding is specifically directed toward activities involving cooperation and coordination between eligible local entities and federal immigration agencies to enforce federal immigration laws. The source identifies $250,000,000 in total opportunity funding but does not state a minimum or maximum individual award amount, an expected number of awards, or a formula for allocating the available funds among eligible applicants. No cost-share or matching requirement is identified in the provided opportunity information. The source also does not provide additional allowable-cost categories, prohibited expenditures, indirect cost limitations, or subaward restrictions. Eligibility is public but restricted in scope. The listed eligible applicant categories are county governments and city or township governments; however, the additional eligibility information narrows participation to local law enforcement agencies and county detention facilities. Accordingly, governmental status alone does not establish eligibility: an applicant must fall within the stated law enforcement or county detention facility restriction. Eligible entities must also ensure compliance with all reporting requirements outlined in Rule 11QER25-2(3), Florida Administrative Code. The opportunity is associated with the State Board of Immigration Enforcement and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement funding opportunity webpage, supporting a Florida-specific geographic scope. Applications are handled on a rolling timeline. Eligible entities were permitted to begin their applications at 8:00 AM on Friday, August 1, 2025. No final application deadline is supplied in the provided information, and no letter of intent, concept paper, notice of intent, pre-proposal, or other pre-application gating requirement is identified. The source provides a public opportunity link through GoToMyGrants and an additional Florida Department of Law Enforcement webpage for the FY25-26 IGP opportunity, but it does not state specific application questions, required attachments, narrative sections, budget forms, or other submission components. The provided information does not identify scoring criteria, review factors, evaluation weights, selection procedures, or a projected award notification date. It likewise does not provide a named individual program contact or telephone number. Questions may be directed to the program email address SBIE@fdle.state.fl.us. Applicants should rely on the stated eligibility restriction and reporting requirement when assessing participation because those are explicit conditions contained in the opportunity information. The stated award period begins February 17, 2025, and ends June 30, 2027. Applications opened August 1, 2025, and the submission timeline is identified as rolling, with no final close date provided. Because the opportunity is rolling rather than tied to a stated recurring annual or periodic deadline, no recurring application cycle or next annual deadline can be established from the supplied source. The opportunity information does not identify previous recipients or provide an explicit list of application evaluation priorities beyond the program's stated purpose of supporting cooperation and coordination with federal immigration agencies and the requirement that eligible entities comply with applicable reporting requirements.

Confirm that the applicant qualifies as a local law enforcement agency or county detention facility and ensure compliance with all reporting requirements outlined in Rule 11QER25-2(3), Florida Administrative Code.
