Las Vegas Mayor Voices Support for Agreement Between ICE, Las Vegas Police - The Nevada Independent

KEY WEST, FLORIDA, JUL 1 – Key West officials voided the police-ICE 287(g) partnership citing unauthorized signing and federal overreach amid growing statewide legal challenges, with 6-1 commission support.

  • On July 8, despite strong local opposition, the Key West city commission approved a 4-2 decision to establish a partnership with federal ICE agents for immigration enforcement.
  • The vote followed earlier confusion after Police Chief Brandenburg signed the 287 agreement without city manager approval, leading some to question its validity.
  • More than 200 residents packed city hall urging postponement, with over 40 speakers mostly opposing the pact and warning it would harm community trust and the local economy.
  • Commissioners later voted 6-1 to void the agreement, citing federal overreach, while Florida Attorney General Uthmeier pledged legal action, stating the city would hear from his office soon.
  • The reversal reflects community pressure and legal uncertainty, but state officials threaten consequences, indicating ongoing conflict over local compliance with immigration enforcement policies.
