Fla. AG held in contempt over illegal immigration law
Jose Rivas, criminal defense attorney with Rivas Law joined FOX 35's Garrett Wymer live via Zoom to break down the next steps for Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier after U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams held him in contempt of court over her ruling to pause a new state law making it a crime for people living in the U.S. illegally to enter the state. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ordered on April 29 that Uthmeier show cause on "why he should not be held in contempt or sanctioned" for violating a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the court, though Williams ultimately decided he was unable to convince her otherwise. "If being held in contempt is what it costs to defend the rule of law and stand firmly behind President Trump's agenda on illegal immigration, so be it," Uthmeier said Tuesday in a post on X.
