Florida Anti-Sanctuary bill Upheld

Florida Anti-Sanctuary Bill Upheld, with minor exception

Just hours before enforcement of Florida Anti-Sanctuary Bill SB168 was to take effect, Federal Judge Beth Bloom ruled in favor of the bill, with one minor exception. The minor exception is a portion of the bill dealing with transport of illegal aliens across state lines.

FLIMEN was at the beginning of this effort in Tallahassee with top-notch activists promoting the bill throughout the Session. FLIMEN was at the bill signing. FLIMEN was at the federal hearing where the City of South Miami and others attempted to find a loophole to stop enforcement. FLIMEN now looks forward to monitoring compliance which went into effect yesterday, October 1, 2019.

This bill was opposed by the usual open border anarchists; Democrats, ACLU, SPLC, Florida Immigrant Coalition and many more.

This was a tough fight. During the Session there were numerous arrests, an activist with the Florida Immigration Coalition was banned from the Capitol. A huge number obstructionist amendments were made by Democrats. FLIMEN was smeared as a hate group by Florida's Fake and Despicable News Media. There was yelling with absurd arguments during debate and much more.

FLIMEN thanks all those who participated and supported the efforts toward passage of this bill, especially Senator Gruters, Representative Byrd, the Republicans in the Florida House and Senate, their Legislative Aids, and importantly Attorney General Moody and Governor DeSantis.

This ruling is a huge victory over anarchy and open borders. Florida is very fortunate to have patriotic officials, all Republicans, who actually support the rule of law and oppose Sanctuary Cities (AKA Anarchy Cities).
