US EditionFederal Judge Temporarily Blocks Florida Police from Acting as Immigration Agents
- A federal judge in Miami this week ordered Florida police to cease enforcing the state's immigration law across all local jurisdictions.
- The ruling followed Williams's earlier temporary restraining order against the February statute, which criminalizes unauthorized entry, despite Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier instructing police they could ignore the order.
- Williams prolonged the injunction after 15 individuals were arrested under the law, one of whom was a U.S. Citizen originally from Georgia, and she strongly criticized Uthmeier's April 23 letter that challenged the legal validity of her order.
- Williams expressed her astonishment at Uthmeier's conduct and strongly objected to any implication that her order could be disregarded or regarded as invalid.
- Uthmeier faces possible contempt sanctions for encouraging enforcement of the blocked law, with a hearing set for May 29 to address his legal consequences amid ongoing litigation and appeals.
