In Pompano Beach, Florida, Somali immigrants illegally in the U.S. were in line to get driver’s licenses and “all you need to vote is a driver's license.”
"BREAKING! 100s of illegal migrants in line to get drivers licenses???" read a screengrab of an X post that overlaid the video on Instagram. "Isn’t that all you need to be able to vote? 1955 N Federal Hwy, Pompano Beach, FL." [...] Florida doesn’t issue driver’s licenses to immigrants in the U.S. illegally, unlike some states. And people must be U.S. citizens to vote in federal elections. A small number of Democratic-led cities let certain noncitizens vote in municipal elections, but cities in Florida are not among them. Nothing in the video proved that the people in line were Somalis or immigrants illegally in the U.S. [...] A video shared on social media claimed to show Somali immigrants in line to get driver’s licenses in Pompano Beach and said, "All you need to vote is a driver’s license."
