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

Orlando Mayor Jerry Demings/Image: Government of Orange County, Florida
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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. 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

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