Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is reportedly defying a court order by urging state law enforcement to continue making arrests under a recently blocked immigration law. The law, which imposes penalties for illegal immigration, was previously ruled unconstitutional by judges on grounds of federal preemption under the Supremacy Clause. Despite the legal rulings, Uthmeier’s actions reflect a controversial interpretation of law, leading to questions about whether he is willing to challenge court authority and face potential legal ramifications.
"Florida's attorney general is dangerously misinterpreting the scope of the court's order, encouraging law enforcement to act against the prevailing legal framework guiding immigration."
"With a history of similar challenges, it’s clear states cannot impose their own immigration policies in contradiction to federal mandates outlined in the Supremacy Clause."
