Judge Beth Bloom, appointed by former President Obama, permanently enjoined the law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis that banned Florida cities and counties from protecting criminal illegal aliens from federal immigration law carried out by the ICE agency.
“Defendants are permanently enjoined from enforcing Fla. Stat. § 908.103 and Fla. Stat. § 908.104 because these statutory provisions are unconstitutional,” Bloom wrote.
As part of her ruling, Bloom accuses DeSantis and Florida Republican Party Chairman State Sen. Joe Gruters (R) of having “discriminatory motives” in their efforts to pass the sanctuary city ban:
Here, prior to SB 168’s enactment, there was a rise in proactive policing measures addressing immigration issues across the country, which was fueled in part by the perpetuation of an immigrant threat narrative and the need to crack down on undocumented immigrants. Indeed, similar immigration enforcement bills had been presented in the 2017 and 2018 legislative sessions but had ultimately failed. Notably, then-Representative Gruters had been in favor of these prior anti-sanctuary bills. …
Similarly, while running for his current position, Governor DeSantis also perpetuated the immigrant threat narrative through his campaign advertisements, which depicted him building a wall with his son, and his public statements associating “illegal immigrants” with “lawlessness” and voicing his support for eliminating sanctuary jurisdictions. [Emphasis added]
DeSantis’s office said they will be appealing Bloom’s decision.
“We disagree with the ruling of the Obama judge and we expect to win on appeal,” said a spokesperson for DeSantis.
The case is South Miami v. DeSantis, No. 1:19-cv-22927-BB in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The Eleventh Circuit is 7 to 5, if the Dubya judge isn't a squish.
Hopefully a three judge panel smacks this obamapuppet down, smartly.
Judge is incorrect.
Of course she won’t ever actually read, understand, or apply US code governing legal and illegal immigration in her decision.
So yet another judge mysteriously divines motive and decides that such motive is un-constitutional...but cities intentionally nullifying federal immigration law - and breaking those laws in the process - are just fine.
Guess ya gotta be a bloom to understand...
We have a Constitution your honor.
It and not you or anyone else has a right to ignore it to
fit your political agenda.
F U
Somthis is the new precedent Trump judges can use. Every single law they don’t like they just say “your motives are unclean and discriminatory”
What? They associated “illegal immigrants” with “lawlessness”???
Maybe it’s because they are “illegal”. They broke the law.
The judge is a retard. Forcing cities to enforce the laws on the books is NOT “unconstitutional”.
What’s completely moronic is that the judge COULD have decided the immigration laws were unconstitutional but for some reason decided that wouldn’t fly... wonder why.
Heya Chief Justice Roberts - how about you tell me again about how judges are not political?
Fair’s fair!
They do it...then we do too
Every ruling should cite the specific constitutional provision the judge claim is “violated”. I bet 9/10ths of them could not rationally do so without looking like idiots.
Some folks need to start visiting these ‘Obama judges ‘ At 2:AM....
“discriminatory motives”
Quit discriminating against Florida.
I love how plain-spoken that is!
Her ruling must be reversed because of her discriminatory motives.
I guess this judge believes Caesar Chavez was also discriminatory!
The term, “illegal” has become meaningless in this country. Burning down cities was the norm last summer.
It’s a good thing to identify who appointed judges. Obama judges are notorious for making up law and over stepping their power. I hope that Trump judges overturn gun control enforcement for the same reason as this Obama judge. Gun controller’s motives are corrupt and discriminatory.
Just one more ruling by a dumb ass judge that ultimately will be overturned in a higher court.
So many “judges” have no business having a job at Star Bucks much less being a judge.
Discrimination against foreign criminals!
