"There has to be a path forward for those who are doing good but crossed into this country illegally, violating a civil federal law [...] if Congress would do their job, and they haven't, and deal with this group, then it frees us up to focus on those that are committing crime."
"Any allusion that we're not supporting the president or the government is absolutely false, he was quick to clarify. What President Trump is doing with illegal immigration is right and what Governor Ron DeSantis is doing is right."
"We can't deal with 10 to 18 million people, suggesting practical constraints on mass deportation enforcement while acknowledging the scale of undocumented immigration in the United States."
Grady Judd, sheriff of Polk County and a prominent Trump ally, advocates for distinguishing between undocumented immigrants who have integrated into society and those committing crimes. He argues Congress must establish a pathway for law-abiding migrants while enabling law enforcement to focus resources on criminal deportations. Judd maintains strong support for Trump and DeSantis's immigration policies while suggesting practical limitations exist in deporting 10-18 million people. His position reflects tension between hardline anti-immigration rhetoric and operational realities facing Florida law enforcement, as the White House privately encourages Republican moderation on mass deportation messaging.
