“… Each labored on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other.” Excerpted from Nehemiah 4:17 (ESV).
For years, Miami-Dade County has refused to hold some illegal immigrants in its jails for federal immigration agents.
But after President Trump signed an executive order threatening to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez changed his mind.
Mayor Giminez ordered the director of his corrections department to begin honoring all requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold immigration suspects in Miami-Dade jails.
With $355 million in federal funds slated for Miami in 2017, Mayor Gimenez had a timely change of heart.
