Sheriff Grady Judd

And quite frankly, it is just absolutely abhorrent behavior.

They have to stop it.

Now, having said that, you can have your political opinion whether you believe or don't believe.

But when you start taking it out on young men and women who are living paycheck to paycheck, and then we're putting you on the front line to keep us safe, what does that say?

So the bottom line is I appreciate TSA.

I appreciate our ICE folks.

I work with ICE every day in the state.

They are remarkably good people doing a very difficult job in a political landmine.

Well, we have illegal immigrants in Polk County, just like we do in every other county across this country.

How do you handle that?

What is your relationship with them?

Here's what we do.

Florida law says we will assist our federal partners.

And I tell folks I don't do anything different today than I did in the Biden administration, than I did in the last Trump administration, than I did in the Obama administration.

When we are working, we run a warrants check on everybody.

Consensual encounters, traffic stops, suspects, witnesses, victims.

If we find there's a warrant out for the arrest, whether it is a criminal warrant or an ICE warrant,

Then if it's an ICE warrant, we call ICE up and say we're detaining a guy that's here illegally in this country.

Do you want him or not?

They say yes or no.
