POLK COUNTY, Fla. — The immigration practices of the Trump administration are getting pushback from a prominent Florida sheriff.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd spoke out on Monday during a State Immigration Enforcement Council meeting, according to Florida Phoenix.
“While Congress sits on their hands and does nothing about this, we are on the ground floor with this, day in and day out, looking into the eyes of the folks that, yes, came here inappropriately, but some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family,” Judd said.
He went on to say that he plans to send a letter to Trump, along with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to urge them utilize better guidelines with their immigration enforcement.
