Rep Byron Donalds calls for removal of Florida city council members who cried while voting against allowing police to work with ICE

Congressman Byron Donalds called for the removal of several Florida city council members on Tuesday after they voted against allowing local authorities to assist ICE with federal immigration enforcement. Fort Myers City Council Members Darla Bonk and Diana Giraldo, both Democrats, broke down in tears while voicing their opposition to the resolution. The agreement would authorize Fort Myers police to question individuals suspected of being in the United States illegally and to process them for immigration violations if they were arrested for a crime.

"The Fort Myers City Council thinks it can flout POTUS, Congress, the Governor, and the State Legislature," Rep. Donalds wrote on X. "Federal law demands illegal aliens are deported. Florida law allows police to be deputized by ICE to assist in deportations. These rogue council members SHOULD BE REMOVED."
