Miami commissioners just gave criminals the boot with this bold vote that has the Left fuming

Three Miami commissioners stood up for law and order despite a coordinated left-wing mob.

They refused to bow to activist pressure and did what was right for public safety.

And Miami commissioners just gave criminals the boot with this bold vote that has the Left fuming.

Miami approves ICE partnership despite organized activist opposition

Miami city commissioners voted 3-2 on Tuesday to approve a federal agreement that will help local police work with ICE to remove dangerous criminals from their community.

The vote came after more than five hours of organized activist testimony opposing the measure.

Commissioners Joe Carollo, Miguel Angel Gabela, and Ralph “Rafael” Rosado had the courage to vote for the 287(g) agreement despite intense political pressure.

Chair Christine King and Commissioner Damian Pardo unfortunately sided with the activists and voted against public safety.

The federal program allows specially trained local police officers to work with ICE agents to identify and remove criminal illegal aliens from Miami’s streets.

Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales told commissioners that only three officers would initially be trained under the program.

The officers would work directly with ICE agents on specific cases targeting criminals who are in the country illegally.

This targeted approach ensures Miami’s limited resources focus on the worst offenders.

Left-wing activists flood commission meeting to oppose law enforcement

The public testimony revealed the organized nature of the opposition as activist after activist condemned the agreement.

Open borders advocates packed the meeting to pressure commissioners into ignoring federal immigration law.

Teacher Madison Rodriguez even claimed her students “are afraid to attend classes or leave their homes” – a talking point straight from the activist playbook.

One speaker tried to guilt-trip Cuban-American commissioners by claiming they were creating a “surveillance state.”

Another demanded commissioners abandon Miami’s identity as the “Magic City.”

The emotional theatrics were designed to intimidate commissioners into abandoning their duty to enforce the law.

But three brave commissioners saw through the manipulation and voted for public safety anyway.

Commissioners choose law and order over activist demands

The vote revealed which commissioners have the backbone to stand up for law enforcement.

Police Chief Morales explained that Governor Ron DeSantis expects local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

DeSantis has made it clear that officials who refuse to enforce immigration law could face consequences.

Morales warned commissioners that rejecting the agreement could jeopardize federal and state grants worth about $20 million annually to the police department.

City Attorney George Wysong confirmed there could be “real consequences for voting no.”

Commissioner Rosado defended his yes vote by expressing confidence in the police department’s ability to implement the program responsibly.

“I have a tremendous amount of faith in our police department and am more comfortable with [the deal], understanding that this is much more limited in scope than we thought,” Rosado stated.

Commissioner Pardo unfortunately bought into activist talking points, claiming the agreement sends an “unwelcoming message.”

But Commissioner King at least acknowledged her immigrant background, saying “I am not in favor. I am an immigrant” and that the city shouldn’t reject federal cooperation unless required.

Smart policy focuses on criminal illegal aliens, not law-abiding residents

The Miami agreement targets the right people – criminal illegal aliens who pose a threat to public safety.

Police Chief Morales made it clear this isn’t about going door-to-door checking immigration status.

“The notion that the entire Miami Police Department would be deputized somehow and be able to go and knock on doors and do a systematic check of people’s immigration status is just not possible, and it’s something that we wouldn’t consider doing,” Morales explained.

Only three officers will receive special training to work directly with ICE on specific cases.

This targeted approach protects law-abiding immigrants while removing dangerous criminals.

The 287(g) program has been successfully used across the country to make communities safer.

It allows local police to share information with ICE about criminals they encounter during routine police work.

State leadership provides clear direction on immigration enforcement

Governor DeSantis has provided strong leadership on immigration enforcement throughout Florida.

The governor signed legislation in February giving state law enforcement agencies the authority to enter into 287(g) agreements.

Attorney General James Uthmeier correctly noted that “At the end of the day we believe in the rule of law.”

“I don’t believe people should be here illegally and we need to ensure that we are enforcing federal laws and supporting Homeland Security and ICE as best we can,” Uthmeier stated.

This top-down leadership gives local officials the support they need to enforce immigration law.

Florida leads the nation in cooperating with federal immigration authorities because DeSantis understands the importance of public safety.

The mayor of South Miami has unfortunately filed a frivolous lawsuit trying to block these common-sense agreements.

Public safety requires cooperation between all levels of law enforcement

The agreement strengthens the relationship between local police and federal immigration authorities.

Law enforcement agencies work best when they share information and coordinate their efforts.

Criminal illegal aliens often commit multiple crimes across different jurisdictions.

The 287(g) program ensures these criminals don’t slip through the cracks.

Miami Police will continue their community policing mission while also helping remove dangerous criminals.

“My police takes care of me, my police protects me” – and now they’ll be even better equipped to do so with federal support.

The agreement ensures that community safety remains the top priority while supporting federal immigration enforcement.

Local police will continue their regular duties while providing targeted assistance to federal authorities when needed.

This partnership model has been successfully implemented in other Florida communities with positive results.

Miami joins smart cities in prioritizing public safety

With this vote, Miami joins other responsible South Florida cities like Doral, Coral Gables, and Homestead that have signed 287(g) agreements.

Across the country, more than 700 agencies have adopted the program because it works.

Florida leads the nation in the number of active agreements because Governor DeSantis understands the importance of immigration enforcement.

Cities that cooperate with federal authorities see reductions in crime committed by illegal aliens.

Miami’s decision brings the city in line with federal and state priorities for public safety.

The agreement represents a return to common-sense law enforcement after years of soft-on-crime policies.

Brave commissioners stand up to activist pressure

The 3-2 vote shows that three Miami commissioners have the courage to do what’s right despite organized opposition.

Commissioner Carollo, Gabela, and Rosado chose public safety over political correctness.

They ignored hours of activist theatrics and focused on their duty to protect Miami residents.

These commissioners understood that enforcing immigration law is not optional – it’s required.

They recognized that cooperation with federal authorities makes their community safer.

Commissioner Rosado specifically noted his “tremendous amount of faith in our police department” to implement the program correctly.

The two commissioners who voted no unfortunately caved to activist pressure instead of supporting law enforcement.

This vote will be remembered as the moment Miami chose law and order over chaos.

The brave commissioners who voted yes deserve credit for standing up to the mob and doing what’s right for public safety.
