Florida AG Uthmeier Fights Immigration Law Oversstep as He Strengthens Parental Rights
Florida Attorney General to Challenges Judge's Decree Halting State Immigration Enforcement: "Court Overreached"
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier stands firm against a judge's overreach, resisting an order to halt enforcement of Florida's immigration law, while also establishing the Office of Parental Rights to safeguard parental rights in education and familial matters.
Rebuking Judicial Overreach on Immigration Laws
In a bold move, Florida's Attorney General vows to challenge an Obama-appointed judge's demand that his office halt enforcement of a state immigration law, controversial for its unconstitutionality suspicions. The disputed law allows for misdemeanor charges against undocumented immigrants hoping to evade federal immigration officials upon entering Florida.
"The judge wants me to endorse an order that ousts all state law enforcement from enforcing Florida's immigration laws," Uthmeier said, addressing the ongoing ACLU's lawsuit before judge Kathleen Williams in Miami. "I'm not playing ball. We believe the court has overstepped, and this is beyond their jurisdiction."
Uthmeier hints at potential contempt charges, promising to uphold the rule of law and appropriate separation of powers. "We're not going to let the ACLU derail President Donald Trump's initiatives on immigration."

Simultaneously, Uthmeier fortifies parents' rights by founding the Office of Parental Rights. This office will offer legal support to defend parents' "God-given right" in educational settings and family-related issues, such as access to school records, parental notification of criminal offenses, and educational choices for their children. "It's not the role of the government to raise kids," he stresses.

Unlike immigration issues, the Florida Office of Parental Rights serves to address parental rights within the context of education and family matters, combatting violations that infringe on these crucial rights. The office strives to empower parents to advocate for themselves and their children, with Uthmeier declaring that "parenting is a right—not a government responsibility."
