Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said: 'The politicians are politicking while the victims are being victimized'
A tough-on-crime Florida sheriff blasted congressional lawmakers for what he said were lax immigration policies after 21 illegal immigrants were among 228 people arrested in a human-trafficking bust.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the eight-day, multi-agency operation titled "Operation March Sadness 2024" included the arrests of military service members, teachers, coaches and medical professionals.
The operation began on Feb. 22.
Those accused of being in the United States illegally were from Chile, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, the sheriff's office said.
"We have a crisis at the border. And because of the crisis at the border, we have people that are victimizing illegal folks, forcing them into the sex trade," Judd said. "Because we allow these criminals in the country illegally. We all rail about this and nobody pays any attention."
At one point, he held up a sign with images of the suspects that said: "Federal Policy Drives Illegal Immigration and Victimization"
One suspect visited Florida from New York with three females, all of whom were in the U.S. illegally, Judd said. They said they were controlled by a female human trafficker and were forced to pay $3,000 apiece or else they were subjected to threats, authorities said.
"They said when they came into the country illegally the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) gave them a form, an ID, paperwork, that allows them to fly for free," Judd said. "You know how Southwest (Airlines) will let your bags fly free? The federal government will let your illegal immigrants fly free."

WOW! That’s news.
How else they gonna make money?
In the 1884 case Elk v. Wilkins, the Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment did not even confer citizenship on Indians - because they were subject to tribal jurisdiction, not U.S. jurisdiction.
For a hundred years, that was how it stood, with only one case adding the caveat that children born to LEGAL permanent residents of the U.S., gainfully employed, and who were not employed by a foreign government would also be deemed citizens under the 14th Amendment. (United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 1898.)
And then, out of the blue in 1982, Justice Brennan slipped a footnote into his 5-4 opinion in Plyler v. Doe, asserting that “no plausible distinction with respect to Fourteenth Amendment ‘jurisdiction’ can be drawn between resident aliens whose entry into the United States was lawful, and resident aliens whose entry was unlawful.” (Other than the part about one being lawful and the other not.)

Good for Grady Judd ... shame on congress and shame on Joe Biden.
The bleeding hearts will point out less than 10% of those caught were illegals.....see, they are better than us
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is a good man.
Elected, pro-second amendment, constitutional sheriffs are the legal and armed muscle needed to take back the country.
The elected, constitutional sheriff in my county has 2,000 special deputies he can call out for “emergencies.”
I respect Judd but the problem id the Biden admin. They already have all the legislation they need to close the border.

>Don’t forget the Big Guy’s 10 %.<
Oh, that’s right.
My favorite sheriff...Trump/Judd 2024... 🤓
I’m just watching his entire press conference and was searching to see if it had been posted here.
The Federal government flies these sex workers for free all over the country. They do have to pay the trafficker $3000 a week, but they say they make good money. They stay in NY but fly all over to work, for free.
228 arrests total in just one county. Not all illegals. The sherrif is amusing talking about each John while showing the picture.
