Thank you all so much for signing and sharing. Sharing is caring! Good news: people all over the country and world are hearing us. We are making a difference in people's lives by standing up for those with no voice. Yesterday, federal Judge, James Robart of WA, issued a restraining order stopping Trump's Executive Order which banned citizens of 7 Muslim-majority countries. In Florida it may be winter, but the heat is cranking up. It looks like Miami-Dade may be caving to federal pressure and will revoke their sanctuary county status. I pray this doesn't happen. Last February, the Florida House of Representatives passed a bill to ban 'sanctuary cities,' requiring local law enforcement to detail illegal immigrants for the federal government, which the federal courts say violates the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution. That's right! It's unconstitutional and it passed our FL House of Reps with the support of 80 Republicans. This bill later died in the senate (under judiciary review). SCORE ONE FOR JUDICIARY! If you're taking notes, Rep. Rene Plasencia, of Orlando, was the only Republican in our FL house to break ranks and side with the Democrats on this. Good on you, Rep. Plasencia! Also for note-taking purposes, this was led by Rep. Larry Metz, R--Yalaha.) I had no idea any of this occurred until I started this petition last week. I am so glad to be aware, and see so many others aware. We have to stay vigilant. We have to hold them accountable. Pay attention, and pass the petition! Li'l Ol' Me ; )
