Red State AG Refuses To Comply With Rogue Judge’s Anti-Trump Ruling

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is pushing back hard against a federal judge’s attempt to pause enforcement of a new state immigration law. At the heart of the dispute is Senate Bill 4-C, a Florida law signed earlier this year that makes it a misdemeanor for illegal immigrants to enter Florida while avoiding federal immigration authorities.

The law was met with immediate backlash from progressive legal groups, including the ACLU, which filed suit to block it.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams—an Obama appointee—first intervened on April 4, issuing a temporary restraining order to halt enforcement of Florida’s immigration law. She argued the measure likely violates the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which grants the federal government primary authority over immigration policy.

Building on that decision, Williams issued a 49-page ruling on Tuesday granting a preliminary injunction. Despite Judge Williams’ initial restraining order, at least one high-profile arrest occurred under the law before the court issued a broader preliminary injunction clarifying its application to all state law enforcement. As a result, the judge scheduled a hearing next month to consider whether Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier should be held in contempt or sanctioned. In response, Uthmeier’s office filed a formal notice of appeal to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court.

“The judge wants me to put my stamp of approval on an order prohibiting all state law enforcement from enforcing Florida’s immigration laws when no law enforcement are party to the lawsuit,” he told Fox News. “I’m just not going to do that.”

Uh, no.  That's not what the Constitution says.  Here is the Supremacy Clause:

Article VI

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

Note how it says "laws of the United States", not 'judicial orders of the United States'.  Florida's new law does not conflict at all with US law.  It only conflicts with the orders of federal judges who insist that US law be ignored.  This judge is dead wrong, and should be disbarred for not knowing what the Constitution says.

These judges are complicit with the MACLU in trying to drag things out with the TRO's and national injunctions to thwart the Admin's agenda. It's manipulating our legal system to play leftist politics.
