Florida Appeals Judge's Block on Immigration Law | JQJO

Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, is appealing a federal judge's injunction blocking a new state law that criminalizes illegal entry into Florida. The law allows state authorities to enforce federal immigration laws, a move the judge deemed likely unconstitutional. Uthmeier argues the state has the right to protect its citizens and that the plaintiffs lack standing. The judge is considering holding Uthmeier in contempt for contradicting her order. A hearing is set for May to address this.
