Trevor Nathaniel RICKETTS, Petitioner, v. PALM BEACH COUNTY SHERIFF, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied July 30, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, Daniel Cohen and Jason Cromey, Assistant Public Defenders, West Palm Beach, for petitioner.

Fred H. Gelston of Fred H. Gelston, P.A., West Palm Beach, for respondent.


WARNER, J.

In this petition for writ of certiorari, which we treat as an appeal of the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus, appellant seeks relief from the sheriff's policy of detaining arrestees subject to a federal immigration hold. He claims that such a hold without a determination of probable cause is unconstitutional. Because the issue is one in the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts, we affirm the trial court's denial of relief.
