Fearing a loss of millions of dollars for defying immigration authorities, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez on Thursday ordered county jails to comply with federal immigration detention requests effectively gutting the countys position as a sanctuary for immigrants in the country illegally.
Gimenez cited an executive order signed Wednesday by President Donald Trump that threatened to cut federal grants for any counties or cities that dont cooperate fully with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Since 2013, Miami-Dade has refused to indefinitely detain inmates who are in the country illegally and wanted by ICE not based on principle, but because the federal government doesnt fully reimburse the county for the expense.

I've not seen this before! I've been laughing for the past 10 minutes! Classic!
These Issues were addressed at Whitehouse.gov when Trump was sworn in:
America First Energy Plan
America First Foreign Policy
Bringing Back Jobs And Growth
Making Our Military Strong Again
Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community
Trade Deals Working For All Americans

Read the article closely - it’s a different situation in Miami-Dade, since none of the Cuban population is illegal and the Mexican/Central American population is relatively lower.
I can certainly understand their complaint about not being able to afford to keep the illegals in jail - and under Obama, that was very likely part of their strategy.
Under Trump, the deportation hearings will happen in a timely manner and there won’t be as many housed in local jails.
Maybe. I would rather reinforce good behavior by the threat of what will happen if they don't obey the law. I don't trust the Feds even under Trump to stymie their inclination for corruption & graft, when you give them an inch. It's better to keep their feet to the fire as well.
NICE !

Great list. Keep it up.
Lot more coming down to add to that.
I don’t see the numbers.
Sorry - I do see the numbers. Looks great!
I hope you will keep going with your list. It’s very handy.
I wonder how it compares to Nachum’s list at this point in time?
Cool.
A Hispanic mayor. This will sorely bruise the left’s ego.
But he is but the first of many dominoes to come. And when they start rolling over we must rub it in, with them and all liberals, family or not.
One sanctuary-city mayor wises up. I fear the others will be harder to persuade, but I have faith in President Trump getting the job done.
I was wondering about the bust of Churchill!!
Glad to hear it.
Bookmarking... Thanks for the list of so many things he has done already!
We need to compile these things, with dates, results, etc
I will start on an Excel file tomorrow; if there is some way to share it, comment on it and add to it?
Is it possible to post an Excel spreadsheet here?
I’ll have to ask my 21 year-old son. LOL!
Please see my previous post. I agree, it is important to keep a record.
“the thing that means more to them than ideology is money.”
That may be true of some, but not of the hard core.
“I keep trying to follow the money but doesnt make sense.”
Maybe this is one of the times one has to follow the ideology.
Destroying the Great Satan has to be at the top of their list.
Nice list, it’s “Big League”!!
