Customs Enforcement (ICE). The initiative, which aims to give state troopers the authority to enforce federal immigration laws, has sparked fierce backlash from Democratic leaders who argue it weaponizes local law enforcement against immigrant communities. Critics accuse DeSantis of promoting fear and discrimination, suggesting that this policy will lead to racial profiling and erode trust between law enforcement and communities with large immigrant populations. Progressive activists have labeled the decision as a political stunt designed to cater to the Republican base, further escalating tensions around immigration policy.
In response, Democrats have vowed to fight the measure in both the courts and the public arena. Several civil rights organizations have also condemned the initiative, claiming it violates the rights of immigrants and creates an unsafe environment for undocumented individuals living in the state. Democratic lawmakers have called the partnership between Florida Highway Patrol and ICE an overreach of state power into federal jurisdiction, characterizing it as another example of DeSantis’ hardline stance on immigration. They argue that such tactics do little to improve public safety and instead deepen divisions within communities.
In January, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made a decisive move by convening a special legislative session. His aim was to bolster President Donald Trump’s America First agenda and intensify efforts to deport illegal immigrants. During a press conference, DeSantis highlighted a new agreement between Florida and ICE focused on illegal immigration enforcement.
The agreement enables state and local officers to collaborate with ICE officials under the 287(g) program. This specific program permits ICE to delegate certain immigration functions to state and local officers under their supervision. It allows ICE to identify and deport criminal illegal aliens who are currently incarcerated.
DeSantis explained that the initiative allows for a more effective partnership between ICE and local law enforcement. The goal is to ensure that criminal aliens eligible for removal are deported before being released back into the community. This collaboration signifies a significant step towards addressing illegal immigration concerns.
Florida Highway Patrol will also be trained and authorized by ICE to execute immigration enforcement actions. DeSantis emphasized the importance of this training as part of President Trump’s commitment to the largest deportation effort in U.S. history. The agreement with the Department of Homeland Security is a pivotal element of this strategy.
“President Trump is committed to effectuating the largest deportation effort in U.S. history,” DeSantis reiterated. The collaboration with ICE aims to fulfill this mission by empowering state law enforcement. The Florida Highway Patrol will be a key player in these efforts.
DeSantis credited strong leadership from the Trump Administration for enabling these initiatives. Under ICE’s 287(g) program, Florida law enforcement will be able to deport illegal aliens more efficiently. This eliminates unnecessary delays and enhances community safety.
The governor praised the work already being done by Florida law enforcement officers. He expressed optimism about utilizing even more resources to apprehend and deport illegal immigrants. DeSantis pointed to the Biden Administration’s policies as a factor that complicated the immigration crisis.
DeSantis was clear about the need to address the crisis during the next four years. He emphasized that ending illegal immigration is a priority for his administration. The governor sees this as an opportunity to rectify issues stemming from federal policies.
In his view, the partnership with ICE is a crucial step in regaining control over immigration laws. The program is designed to remove criminal elements from communities, ensuring a safer environment for law-abiding citizens. This approach aligns with the America First philosophy.
DeSantis’s actions reaffirm his dedication to upholding conservative values in governance. His stance reflects a broader commitment to lawful immigration practices. The agreement with ICE demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing national concerns.
The governor’s initiative underscores a broader narrative of restoring law and order. By aligning state policies with federal objectives, DeSantis aims to create a more secure Florida. This move is seen as a testament to his leadership and resolve.
The announcement was met with support from those who advocate for stricter immigration enforcement. Many see this as a necessary step to curb illegal immigration. DeSantis’s strategy is perceived as a practical solution to a complex issue.
Critics, however, argue that the approach may lead to challenges in community relations. Concerns have been raised about the potential impact on immigrant communities. Nonetheless, DeSantis remains firm in his belief that this is the right course of action.
The governor’s plan has sparked discussions on the balance between enforcement and compassion. While some appreciate the focus on criminal elements, others call for more comprehensive solutions. The debate continues as Florida implements these new measures.
Ultimately, Governor DeSantis is unwavering in his commitment to protecting the state’s interests. His actions serve as a reminder of the ongoing dialogue around immigration policies. As the state moves forward, the effects of this agreement will be closely watched.
I quote: “Critics accuse DeSantis of promoting fear and discrimination, suggesting that this policy will lead to racial profiling and erode trust between law enforcement and communities with large immigrant populations.”
No it is the Critics, Demoncraps, Leftists, Radicals and Progressives (commies) who have created this entire situation and put American Citizens in “Harm’s Way” getting raped, robbed and murdered while countless others are dying from Fentanyl as the Cartels have their way!
Yes these same rotten selfish idiots whine about “fear and discrimination” being promoted by Law Enforcement being able to “do their job and enforce the law of the land be it local, state or federal!” While it’s obviously; “they who created this dire situation” and as it’s “they that continue using the same old tactics of fear-mongering or racism!”
To hell with all these lunatics and criminals of the Demoncrap party having hissy fits and making all the trouble they can to get their own damned to hell way!
My thoughts exactly Lawrence,, when I patrolled suspects and performed a traffic stop, there were incidents when I was unable to communicate with the driver since I was limited with in the Spanish language. When I asked for “Identification” and insurance I would get a response that he/she had Nadal.
I would get an interpretor to help me, I would find out the driver didn’t have a driver’s license or insurance and at times a passenger didn’t have identification either so I would place them both under arrest and book them in the county jail.
Texas law doesn’t allow anyone who drives without a driver’s or SS # and are subject to arrest or those who doesn’t comply with law enforcement Officers.
We don’t play around here.
Brother Michael, my hat is off to you Sir for doing an outstanding and proper job in carrying out your duties as a Law Enforcement Officer! I have to day I at least understand that folks like you have done or do a job that most of us in the general public would not want to be doing nor could we day in and day out year after year with so much danger and difficulty involved, which can be so unpredictable and take a radical turn at any moment! This is why all of us Citizens should be always appreciative of the efforts and dedication of Law Enforcement Personnel who make our lives safer!
I was talking to a man I’ve known for a while through his work at a major retail chain who told me how recently he was with his wife and had just gotten into their car when suddenly another car drove toward his car sideswiping it and just sped off; he only got a quick look at the driver and he had reason to believe that he might very well be an illegal, so he also felt inclined to not take any action as the damage wasn’t drastic. I told him due to the circumstances and what’s going on in this country presently how he was right and best to not bother getting wrapped up in some mess with that fool, as that reckless driver probably is driving without a license or any insurance anyway, and thank God nothing tragic occurred to him or his wife!
It’s a dangerous world out there and the last thing we need is all these illegals tossed into the mix to bring on more havoc! I also just commented on a Spreely article about AG Pam Bondi now going after Governor Hochul of NY and AG Letitia James for their refusing to cooperate with ICE and so on! I pray that some of these most radical and renegade officials see jail time so the message will be clear of how if they breach the Rule of Law or their Oath of Office they will pay the penalty! I really hope and pray that the whole wicked current paradigm can be flipped over to get things back to some semblance of normalcy in America again!
Illegal border crossers are criminals under the law and as illegals they have no rights under OUR CONSTITUTIONAL their only rights are to get out of the US of A or go to jail and then deported.
All the DemoRats should be deported to Somalia.
We’re all sick and tired of their lies, deceit and just plain crap.
Stinky; SO, SO TRUE!!! I wish it were a dream and would just be over with soon!
So I pray for a miracle!
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are turning their focus toward financial corruption within the federal government, launching a probe into how public officials have accumulated millions while working in taxpayer-funded positions. The investigation, led by the Department of Government Efficiency Service (DOGE), is part of a broader effort to root out fraud and misuse of government funds.
At a White House press briefing, Musk raised questions about how certain federal employees have managed to amass substantial wealth. “Where does it come from?” Musk asked. “Maybe they’re great investors, in which case we should take their advice. But mysteriously, they get wealthy. We don’t know why.”
Trump issued an executive order expanding DOGE’s authority, requiring federal agencies to coordinate with Musk’s office on financial audits and hiring freezes. The order also directs agencies to reduce staffing and eliminate wasteful expenditures identified by DOGE.
Musk pointed to USAID as an agency under review, stating that its financial oversight has been lacking. “The reason departments can’t pass audits is because payments don’t have categorization codes,” he said. “It’s just blank checks flying out of the building.”
In addition to financial audits, DOGE has already terminated nearly $900 million in federal contracts. Musk and Trump have claimed these cuts are due to waste and fraud but have not yet disclosed specific details about the affected agreements.
The initiative has faced legal pushback from labor unions and Democratic state attorneys general, who argue that Trump and Musk are bypassing congressional authority. However, both have vowed to continue pursuing transparency and accountability in government spending.
I’ve been saying for years the Communist Democrats have been stealing taxpayers money, and how could AOC own a multi million dollar Mansion and Bernie Slanders own 4 multi million dollar Mansions.?
From taxpayers money that’s how, and getting it from USAIDE.!
Michael, I’ve been catching up a bit and reading some of the same information and it pisses me off, to think how this crap has been allowed to mushroom to this outrageous level!
I quote you here; “how could AOC own a multi million dollar Mansion and Bernie Slanders own 4 multi million dollar Mansions.?
From taxpayers money that’s how, and getting it from USAIDE.!”
That is all so sickening and Criminal as well as True I’m sure, that I want to see “justice served” and all of that criminality to be uncovered, so that “they face charges and appropriate verdicts,” sending them off to prison! Does our justice system still have the capacity to work so justly, or is it going to remain “a two-tier system?” “Rules for thee and not for me!” That remains to be seen at this point!
Something is going to happen very soon and President Trump and my favorite Attorney General Pam Bondi is not one’s to mess with since they’re both going full speed on all the corruption and fraud the Communist Democrats and Rinos have been doing to the American Citizens.
Back in the 1960’s before JFK was assassinated, and President, it was he who established the USAIDE, but at the time it wasn’t meant to give trillions of taxpayers Money around the world and not help the citizens of America.
Something will happen when President Trump receives enough evidence on all the Communist in Washington, and I just found out that $2 Trillion dollars from SS is missing since Elon Musk discovered it and why did Communist China Joe Biden have the EPA hold onto $6 billion dollars of taxpayers Money.?
Elon also found this out.
You betcha something is going to take place really soon and in my opinion only, I honestly think before June 15th we will witness the largest arrest round up in political history.
You speculate, Communist China or the Communist Democrats involved in China to show their revenge against President Trump.?
A dense fog with a strong chemical odor has blanketed parts of Florida, leading to an increase in health complaints from residents who say they are experiencing respiratory issues and fatigue. While the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued standard fog advisories, locals insist this is not a typical weather event.
People in affected areas have described the fog as unusually thick, with many reporting symptoms such as coughing, sore throats, nausea, and dizziness. Some have even noticed a metallic taste in the air, which was also reported in a similar fog incident last month.
Online speculation about the fog’s origin has been widespread. Some believe industrial emissions could be mixing with the humid air, making pollutants more noticeable. Others fear a more alarming cause, pointing to historical cases of government experimentation with airborne chemicals.
A Naples resident posted images of thick fog covering roadways, claiming, “This is not natural—something is being sprayed in our air.” Others have called on Florida officials to investigate, citing concerns over the possible presence of harmful substances.
Experts say that while fog is common in Florida during this time of year, pollutants trapped in the dense air could be responsible for the strong odor. However, these explanations have done little to ease public fears, as reports of illness continue to grow.
The NWS advisory states that fog will persist along Florida’s coastline through Wednesday morning, significantly reducing visibility. Officials have not provided any further information regarding potential health risks.
Brother Michael, there two points for me light my fire of hope for America! “full speed” and “the largest arrest round up in political history;” those two dovetail perfectly in my mind’s eye and encourage me to once again restore my faith in humanity. Because as much as we see how “so many people are corrupt or useless trolls” there really are still “some heroes and even saintly people living on this earth right now,” who will do what it takes to save the ship, as “they will be guided by the Holy Spirit of God!”
This reminds me of many noteworthy persons of the past, and one a historical figure who we know was both a hero and a Godly man, William Wallace of Scotland, who stood up to all the power of that corrupted kingdom at that time back then ruled by Edward I of England “Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots,” who was King of England from 1272 to 1307. We know Mel Gibson did an outstanding job of bringing into focus that person and period in time with his film “Braveheart.” Perhaps America of old can make a real comeback of a similar dramatic nature when the overwhelming forces of evil and so much rampant corruption, will again in this modern time be beat back and down into the dust of history, with epic moves and battles being waged upon earth and also of the wits, by the just who can and will overcome all of the devils among us!
Either way for the paradigm to flip and real justice to be restored it will be a battle of “epic proportions and heroism” the likes of which this nation hasn’t seen here in a long time, but, if achieved will allow America to rise once again to its rightful place of greatness seen throughout the world where truly “freedom and justice” once again ring!
Here is what America was once about, and we have fallen far down from that peak of “virtue and goodness!”
Patriotic Song Lyrics
My Country, ‘Tis of Thee Lyrics
(also known as “America”)
written by Samuel Francis Smith
My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From ev’ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom’s song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers’ God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom’s holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.

The Liberty Song
Come join band in hand, brave Americans all,
And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty’s call;
No tyrannous acts, shall suppress your just claim,
Or stain with dishonor America’s name.
In freedom we’re born, and in freedom we’ll live;
Our purses are ready,
Steady, Friends, steady,
Not as slaves, but as freemen our money we’ll give.
Our worthy forefathers – let’s give them a cheer –
To climates unknown did courageously steer;
Thro’ oceans to deserts, for freedom they came,
And, dying, bequeath’d us their freedom and fame.
Their generous bosoms all dangers despis’d,
So highly, so wisely, their birthrights they priz’d;
We’ll keep what they gave, we will piously keep,
Nor frustrate their toils on the land or the deep.
The Tree, their own hands had to Liberty rear’d,
They lived to behold growing strong and rever’d;
With transport then cried, – ” Now our wishes we gain,
For our children shall gather the fruits of our pain.”
How sweet are the labors that freemen endure,
That they shall enjoy all the profit, secure, –
No more such sweet labors Americans know,
If Britons shall reap what Americans sow,
Swarms of placemen and pensioners’ soon will appear, Like locusts deforming the charms of the year:
Suns vainly will rise, showers vainly descend,
If we are to drudge for what others shall spend.
Then join hand in hand brave Americans all,
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall;
In so righteous a cause let us hope to succeed,
For Heaven approves of each generous deed.
All ages shall speak with amaze and applause,
Of the courage we’ll show in support of our laws;
To die we can bear, – but to serve we disdain,
For shame is to freemen more dreadful than pain.
This bumper I crown for our sovereign’s health,
And this for Britannia’s glory and wealth;
That wealth, and that glory immortal may be,
If she is but just, and we are but free.

We all know the story about the “Flight of the Phoenix” in mythology that rose up from the ashes; and I ask can we as “The Genuine Patriotic American People-Children of God” rise up again too, before the final curtain on this world, which we are fast approaching?
I conclude with what I know to be the most important idea and “bedrock principle of truth” which comes from these Scriptural verses to be focused on and held deep in one’s heart above all else, regardless of how the battle goes; in the end, “it will come down to this for each and every human soul!”
Romans 10:8-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.”
Amen and Amen.
God bless.
Brother in-Christ Jesus-Lawrence
