Florida’s Republican Sheriffs Turn on Trump Over His Signature Crusade

snip//

Florida’s Republican sheriffs are urging President Donald Trump to halt deportations of undocumented immigrants with no criminal record in a stunning break from the state’s hardline immigration stance.

The call came Monday during a meeting of the Florida Immigration Enforcement Council, a body established last year by the Florida Legislature to drive the state’s immigration enforcement agenda, Florida Politics reported.

At least six of the council’s eight sheriffs backed the position—with Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, 72, leading the charge. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has long insisted that any migrant illegally in the country “needs to go.”
