Sarasota shelter for migrant children caught in DeSantis battle against immigration policy
The Dream Center in Sarasota is caught in the middle of the political battle between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Joe Biden's Administration over federal immigration policy.
The situation sheds light on how the department has implemented, and potentially bungled, directives under Gov. Ron DeSantis to deny licenses to organizations that accept federal contracts to house unaccompanied immigrant children who cross the Southwest U.S. border illegally and seek to be resettled in Florida.
Lutheran Services Florida Inc., the Tampa-based nonprofit that operates the Dream Center, filed a claim in January against the Florida Department of Children and Families after the department denied the shelter its license because it accepts federal contracts to house unaccompanied immigrant children.
The case, which was scheduled for a hearing on Tuesday, was postponed after both Lutheran Services Florida and DCF indicated they are working on a settlement agreement.

DeSantis' campaign of hate continues while he ignores dealing intelligently with Florida's homeowner insurance crisis.
