Florida Mayor Notified Sheriffs Not to Enforce Immigration Law

Jacksonville City Council President Kevin Carrico has revealed that Democrat Mayor Donna Deegan has notified sheriffs not to enforce state or local immigration laws.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been at the forefront of tackling illegal immigration.

In a post to X on Thursday, Carrico wrote, “As to General Council Fackler directing JSO not to enforce the State and Local Illegal immigration laws, This directive not only ties the hands of our local law enforcement, but it undermines the will of the Council and State Legislature. Florida is leading the fight for law and order, and instead of standing with us, the Mayor’s lawyer is siding with open-border politics.”

Carrico discussed the directive in an interview with Florida’s Voice, saying, “The Office of General Counsel of the, that was appointed by the Democratic mayor, sent a letter to the sheriff or email to the sheriff today telling him, do not enforce the state illegal immigration law and do not enforce the local illegal immigration law that we’ve been on this show talking about.”

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Another excellent example of democrats upholding the rule of law. :3:

On the other hand, Imam Obama said you could ignore a law if you don't like it, and since he's an attorney, I'm sure he knows that stuff. *****rollingeyes*****

Which begs the question: Does the Mayor of a town have the authority over a Sheriff (usually of a County)?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In Florida, the Sheriff generally has higher legal authority within their county, particularly when it comes to law enforcement matters. While the Mayor has administrative authority over city operations and budgets, the Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of the county, responsible for law enforcement, court security, and county jails.

So it appears the Sheriff could just tell the mayor to bugger(define that as you wish) off!

Jacksonville has a city PD. Jax is in Duval Co. FL.   The Sheriff doesn't answer to the Mayor.
