Deputies in Florida help enforce immigration law, but Biden aims to change that Juan Carlos Chavez, Tampa Bay Times © Juan Carlos Chavez / Times/Times/Tampa Bay Times/TNS Ana Lamb, a Tampa immigrant advocate, said she hopes the Biden administration will consider the vital role undocumented immigrants play in the U.S. economy as it sets new policies.
