After Empty Bluster, Orlando Mayor Capitulates to ICE in Record Time

Last Wednesday, Orlando, Florida, Mayor Jerry Demings was full of empty bluster when he vowed to “never” sign an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Demings told reporters, “I’m not going to be bullied by the State Attorney General.”

By Friday, Demings capitulated.



Demings was responding to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s warning that put Orange County leaders on notice that Governor Ron DeSantis could remove them for not adopting a modified agreement with ICE.

The addendum to the agreement allows ICE to partner with state and local officials and correctional officers to transport detainees to other detention facilities, including “Alligator Alcatraz.”

AG Uthmeier sent a July 29 letter to Demings and all six county commissioners after learning Demings directed Orange County Corrections to reject the ICE and the Florida Sheriffs Association’s addendum.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

This reminds me of Algonquin J. Calhoun, lawyer for the Mystic Knights of the Sea (Amos and Andy) would have handled it. *look*
