Your voice matters. After an initial rejection, the Ft. Myers Council reversed its decision to follow Florida law and adhere to the “287(g) agreement, entered into by all 67 of Florida’s county sheriffs and joined by state-level agencies, [that] provides training to personnel and enhances cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to ultimately deport illegal aliens more smoothly and rapidly.”

Attorney General James Uthmeier sent a letter to the City of Fort Myers on Tuesday afternoon, stating that the council’s actions must be “correct[ed],” or members could face removal from office, civil or criminal penalties, or being held in contempt. After pressure from the public and Governor Desantis, the council reversed its earlier decision.
