Evidence

The campaign's current issues page says under 'Fight Illegal Immigration' that 'Byron stands with President Trump to secure the border, keep our families and communities safe, end taxpayer handouts to illegals, and stop drugs from pouring into our country.'

Current campaign platform still promises a hardline immigration agenda, but it is only a pledge and does not itself show implementation by Florida state agencies.

The campaign said Donalds' public safety platform includes 'requiring full cooperation between Florida agencies and federal immigration enforcement' and quoted Donalds saying, 'As Governor, I will ensure full cooperation between state and federal authorities.'

This is the clearest recent campaign statement of the promise, but it remains a future commitment tied to a governorship he has not yet assumed.

Donalds said Florida is 'participating with ICE' and 'working with them through the 287(g) program,' while praising Governor DeSantis for making sure 'every law enforcement official in our state is going to cooperate' with the federal government.

Donalds has publicly endorsed and described existing Florida cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, but this is commentary about current state policy rather than proof that he himself delivered the promise as governor.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Donalds as sponsor of H.R. 5177, introduced 2025-09-08, and shows the latest action as referral to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit on 2025-09-09; the bill's summary describes enforcement of commercial vehicle safety requirements and state compliance checks.

This is concrete federal action consistent with his broader immigration-enforcement posture, but it does not itself fulfill the Florida-governor promise and the bill remained only introduced/referred.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

Donalds has made this as a Florida gubernatorial campaign promise, but he has not yet served as Florida governor, so the promised executive outcome cannot be credited as fulfilled or failed. Existing Florida cooperation with ICE appears to be current state policy under other officials, and Donalds' federal immigration-related activity does not itself implement cooperation by Florida state agencies as governor.
