Summary

Florida’s Attorney General demanded more ICE raids. One Black sheriff stood up — and refused.

🔥 Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony refused to send deputies to help ICE  
🔥 “We’re not knocking on doors. We’re not snatching kids from daycare.”  
🔥 He shut down demands for dragnet-style enforcement  
🔥 He backed his community — not the crackdown

This is what real leadership looks like. A sheriff who serves and protects — not one who obeys unjust orders.

A black Florida sheriff and the state attorney general are at odds on the
