Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez has ordered municipal jails to comply with President Trump’s recent Executive Order which reinforces federal immigration regulations and laws.
In an interview with Fox and Friends Friday morning, Mayor Gimenez said, “”When the president (Donald Trump) issued his executive order, he just put an exclamation point for me on that issue. It really was a no-brainer. It’s a $52,000 a year issue for Miami-Dade, so we will now go back to our 2014 policy that we will honor the detention requests regardless of the fact that the government says they’ll pay for it.”
President Trump lauded Mayor Gimenez’s decision:
Not all mayors are so supportive of Trump’s new immigration hardline. Three democratic mayors vowed to resist the executive order.
