A Florida sheriff had one ultimatum for Donald Trump that will change everything

Law enforcement had the handcuffs placed on them by Joe Biden. 

They want to assist the President with his agenda. 

And a Florida sheriff had one ultimatum for Donald Trump that will change everything. 

Florida sheriff says local law enforcement is ready to go helping with deportations

The success of President Donald Trump’s plan for the mass deportation of illegal aliens relies on local law enforcement. 

Local law enforcement is a force multiplier and knows their communities. 

Polk County, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd told Fox News that the “shackles” needed to be taken off local law enforcement so they can help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement with mass deportations. 

“There’s got to be an infrastructure at the federal level to house these folks because we can scoop them up in large quantities because they’re here illegally committing crime and or they already have,” Judd said. “There’s 1.4 million with a federal warrant or a removal order. If we can identify them, put them in the computer, we can go pick them up.”

Judd said that the detention facilities need to be built to house the sheer number of illegal aliens the Trump administration wants to deport. 

The Florida sheriff argued that local law enforcement could be the “biggest asset” for ICE’s efforts to deport illegal aliens. 

“Border Czar” Tom Homan is asking Congress for additional funding in Trump’s proposed border security bill for space to detain illegal aliens. 

“You can’t just flip the switch on and off. You’ve got to put infrastructure together. But we will be an ally at an even greater level than we already have been,” Judd explained. “We’ll load up ICE with illegal immigrant criminals.”

Florida is getting law enforcement involved in mass deportations 

Polk County had an agreement during Trump’s first term to work with ICE. 

“And they [ICE under the previous Trump administration] came and got a lot of people from us that we had arrested on other criminal charges. But we saw those numbers diminish under the Biden administration,” Judd stated. “You know, quite frankly, they thought it was better to keep criminal illegal aliens in this country so that they could victimize people than to get rid of them.”

Judd praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the State Legislature for coming up with a bill to provide $250 million in additional funding for local law enforcement to help with mass deportations. 

“I give great compliments to Governor DeSantis, to our speaker of the house, Danny Perez, and to our president of the Senate, Ben Albritton, because we’re creating state legislation, and they’re working on the details now to make sure that every government in Florida cooperates and has the infrastructure to help immigration at a federal level,” Judd explained. 

Judd said that valuable information sharing between the federal government and local law enforcement would lead to more illegal aliens being arrested. 

Illegal aliens with orders to be deported are not listed in the database police use to check criminal records. 

“I think that is an officer safety issue. When we stop vehicles, the people that we stop may very well be in this country illegally with an active deportation order, knowing, ‘My Gosh, they’ve caught me.’ But we don’t know that,” Judd said. “We also can’t pick them up and hold them on this order to deport them because the federal government won’t put it in the system. So, we know we can be an even bigger help to ICE if they will make sure that they give us information to help them.”

Florida’s sheriffs can be the tip of the spear for arresting illegal aliens for mass deportation.
