A black Florida sheriff and the state attorney general are at odds on the issue of arresting immigrants. Attorney general James O'Himeheimer sent a letter to Broward County Sheriff Gregory Atoni

following the sheriff's comments about not prioritizing the arrest of immigrants during a commission meeting last week. Check this out. Some of the things that other sheriffs in this state has participated in, in increasing availability of manpower to execute some of these responsibilities

that fall under immigrations, we are not. There has been a submittal of requests. The governor wanted to see all sheriffs participate in this one program, 287G, which was related to the inmate processing components, and we've always been in compliance with that. Then there was a pivot point to have deputies participate in 287G task force, whereas now it's the law enforcement apparatus that is out in the field and increasing the operational tempo for customs, meaning 20 deputies are assigned, let's say, in Sarasota to this particular task force, and those deputies are now basically operating

under the will or so the partnership of immigration. I've dedicated the two people that's always been there. I've not increased that. We have other priorities in this community that I'm focused on, and immigration is not one of them. Not to dismiss the importance of that, but we have had case after case, just a few months ago, to speak about why it's important for us

as law enforcement practitioners to focus on the criminal components, not administrative components when it comes to immigration. I don't care what country you're from, if you commit a crime in this country or commit a crime in this county, I'm coming for you. But what I refuse to do is take this notion that we need to be knocking on doors or arresting children or going into daycare centers or restaurants and taking and snatching people off these streets who have been paying taxes and contributing

to this society in some positive form regardless if they're a US citizen or not. It's not within our purview, it's not within our responsibility and I won't participate in it. This is something that has alarmed this community repeatedly and I've been crystal clear and I have not wavered my stance in the last six years and I won't. Youth Mods letter orders Tony to comply with the efforts of the immigration and customs enforcement.

Larry, your thoughts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

And so, you know, a lot of the sheriffs down here gleefully signed them when they get involved in a lot of these ice raids. And if you saw what the sheriff said, what he had to say is completely reasonable. We also have to highlight that he, as sheriff, he also serves a very diverse immigrant population. So those, and we're talking about individuals who voted for him.

So this back and forth between, you know, the AG, the state AG and the sheriff is really based on the fact that he is not as been as gung-ho with some of the other sheriffs down here in the state. But once again, his point is practical. He's saying if you're a criminal, then we'll come after you. But what he's also saying is they're not going to be kicking doors into homes of individuals who haven't committed a crime.

Once again, he called him to pay taxes. And Roland, this also relates to, he points to that education. We're increasingly seeing ICE agents go to public schools, elementary schools in some cases, seeking to talk to young people. So his point is saying, his point is that we're not going to look for law abiding individuals and we're certainly not going to be kicking in the door to elementary, middle, high schools to snatch kids out of school. And then like I said, I use the term black box in terms of the last segment, but what he's saying is practical.

If you break the law, I'm coming after you. Otherwise, if you live in a community you being productive. I'm not gonna bother you but down here that is not enough Once again, I made the point about power. They want a far more You know stronger commitment from sheriffs in this throughout the state to make sure that if you're a child or a woman Who has you know, stayed care of small children or father that they don't care. If they, if they grab you, that's it. They'll send you off, you know, send you to Louisiana or some far country. But the bottom line is what the sheriff said is not, it's not radical,

but in a state of. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time. Have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

What we're seeing, Tydeke, again, we know in this state, we saw when Ronda Santis removed three state, you know, three DAs, if you will, because they said what they were not going to prosecute.

This is what these folks do. And I would be shocked if they try to move on this duly elected black sheriff. Absolutely. And I think even as you just pointed out, sheriffs are elected by the people. They're not appointed by the government. And when communities, especially communities of color, organize and demand that their local law enforcement protect them rather than tear them apart. As an elected official, I think the sheriff has a duty to listen. I don't think it's about politics, but it's really about prioritizing their community safety.

And as mentioned before, if they're not doing anything that causes harm to the community, then they should be left alone. And I think even understanding the track record of ICE in itself, having the long track record of abuse, of racial profiling, of violating people's civil rights, especially in a community of black and brown folks where distress is already a major issue. And I think the sheriff saying no to ICE is honestly saying yes to the due process

and dignity of public safety. And I think it's commendable and I wish more local officials would heed to the concerns and the voices of the folks in their community. Oh, but here's the deal, Mustafa. They don't give a damn about people who are duly elected. And they don't care if they have their own opinions. They want to tell them what to do. That's what they that's what Ron DeSantis does. That's what his attorney general is doing. So they don't care that this sheriff has made his own

decision as to how he is going to run his office which is what he was elected to do. Exactly and he's doing the right thing. We all know that many law enforcement have limited income so that means that you have to prioritize. So then you should take a look and ask the question, where is the crime happening so that we can deploy the needed individuals to be able to address that? So there are numerous studies that are out there that show that folks who are undocumented do significantly less crime than those who are documented or those who are citizens here in this country. So based upon that premise,

which is rooted in fact, then Ron DeSantis should be great and should be very, very thankful that you have a sheriff who's willing to stand up and say, you know, wherever crime is, I'm very thankful that you have a sheriff who's willing to stand up and say, you know, wherever crime is, I'm going to deal with it, but I'm not going to take resources away from the areas that I'm trying to... I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future

Hello, I'm Isaac Hayes III, founder and CEO of Fanbase. Listen to what I'm about to tell you. The window to invest in Fanbase is closing.

We've raised over 10.6 million of our $17 million goal. That means there's room for less than 6,370 people to invest in Fanbase for the average amount. The minimum to invest in Fanbase right now is $399. That makes you an owner in Fanbase today. Go to startengine.com slash fanbase to invest. Why? Because current social apps have taken advantage of users for far too long, with content suppression, shadow banning,

harmful racist content, and no real tools for monetization and equity. Fanbase has over 1.4 million users and counting, allowing anyone to reach all their following and monetize their content from day one. Social media is the new TV, and whoever owns the apps that distribute that content have the opportunity to own potential billion dollar companies. While big platforms with uncertain futures are failing to serve their users,

Fanbase is stepping up to fill the gap. Don't wait until it's too late. Invest now, invest for yourself and your future.
