Florida attorney general, now held in contempt, should stop politicizing the job
'Fidelity to the rule of law can have no other meaning.' That's what U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams wrote Tuesday when she found Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in contempt of court for continuing to enforce an immigration law she blocked. Uthmeier was appointed to the job in February by Gov. Ron DeSantis. He swore an oath to uphold the law. But Uthmeier has chosen to put politics above the law. In April, Uthmeier issued a memo directing police agencies to ignore Williams' injunction blocking enforcement of Florida's new immigration law making it a crime for undocumented immigrants to enter the state. 'It is my view that no lawful, legitimate order currently impedes your agencies from continuing to enforce Florida's new illegal entry and reentry laws,' he wrote. The law, passed by the Republican Legislature, was signed by DeSantis earlier this year. A Tampa Bay Times analysis found that 25 people were arrested under the law — after the judge blocked enforcement. At least nine ended up in detention. 'Litigants cannot change the plain meaning of words as it suits them, especially when conveying a court's clear and unambiguous order,' Williams said in her contempt order. Williams could have fined Uthmeier or imposed a jail sentence, the Miami Herald reported. Instead, she ordered Uthmeier to 'file bi-weekly reports detailing whether any arrests, detentions, or law enforcement actions' have been made under the law. The first report is due July 1. It's unclear if Uthmeier will follow the judge's orders. But one thing is clear: Uthmeier has politicized the role of attorney general like no other in recent history. He shows no sign of stopping. Shortly after Williams' order, Uthmeier commented on X: '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.' That leads to a question for voters: How will the state attorney general defend the rule of law while ignoring the ruling of a federal judge? This is the same man who, hours before being found in contempt, retweeted a video of U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, criticizing President Donald Trump's military parade last Saturday and encouraging people to protest. He offered this comment: 'Denaturalize and Deport.' Omar is a favorite target for many Republicans but is the Florida attorney general saying he favors deporting a naturalized U.S. citizen and a sitting member of Congress based on her dissenting words? Uthemier seems more interested in scoring ideological points than serving Floridians and upholding the law. While carrying out DeSantis' agenda, he also appears to be auditioning for Trump's endorsement. Uthmeier is up for election in 2026. Floridians should take note. Uthmeier was appointed to the role of attorney general, and he is now campaigning to serve a full term. His current, shoot-from-the-hip conduct is an indication of what they can expect if he wins. Floridians need an attorney general who will uphold the law. There's an appropriate place to fight against unfair rulings — and that's in the courts, not on social media. Uthmeier should start by complying with Williams' order and filing the bi-weekly reports. He should also ensure the focus of his office is serving all Floridians, not just those in the governor's mansion and the White House. Williams is right. Fidelity to the rule of law isn't optional for the 'people's lawyer.' If Uthmeier is unable or doesn't want to meet that standard, voters should consider whether he's suited to serve a full term.

Nudist accused of murdering elderly neighbors allegedly said he flipped over a hot dog — which he took as a cruel ‘jab'
The nudist charged with brutally murdering his neighbors at their California resort allegedly told another inmate he did it over a hot dog — which he took as a cruel 'jab' at him. Michael Royce Sparks, 62, is accused of bashing in the heads of Daniel Menard, 79, and wife Stephanie Menard, 73, whose dismembered remains were then found under his home on the Olive Dell Ranch nudist resort in Colton. He allegedly told another inmate that 'the incident started over a hot dog that Daniel Menard had purchased for him,' Detective Thomas Williams told a court hearing Monday, according to the Press Telegram. 'He said Mr. Sparks felt that the hot dog was a jab at him, making him feel like he was worth only a dollar hot dog, and that's what set him off that day,' Williams continued. 4 Daniel Menard and Stephanie Menard's deaths were ruled a homicide after the coroner determined they died from blunt-force trauma to the head. Redlands Police Department 4 Michael Royce Sparks was arrested and charged with the murder of his elderly neighbors. AP Sparks allegedly told the inmate he then 'went outside and struck Mr. Menard in the head until his head caved in.' Menard's horrified wife then 'came out yelling, 'No! No!'' — and Sparks began bashing them both 'with a rake, a hoe and a hammer,' he allegedly told his fellow inmate, according to the detective. Sparks then allegedly detailed how he then brought their bodies into a homemade concrete bunker below his home and chopped up their bodies and stuffed them in plastic bags. The suspected killer also claimed that he drowned the Menards' white Shih Tzu, Cuddles, in a sink before tossing her body in the woods where coyotes would eat her, Williams testified. Superior Court Judge Alexander R. Martinez ruled there was sufficient evidence to hold Sparks for trial on two charges of murder and one count of animal cruelty, according to the Press Telegram. 4 The Menards and their dog, a Shih Tzu named Cuddles, were reported missing by a friend on Aug. 25. Redlands Police Department 4 The investigation discovered an underground bunker in Sparks' home where the couple's remains were found. AP Sparks has pleaded not guilty to all charges. After a four-day search for the missing couple, police engaged in an hours-long standoff with Sparks who had barricaded himself inside the bunker. He tried to kill himself rather than be arrested but his gunshot misfired, cops said. When he eventually surrendered, Williams asked him where the Menards were and if they were in trouble. 'He told me they were underneath the trailer and that they didn't need any help,' Williams told the court. 'He replied back that they were in pieces,' Williams testified.

Judge finds Florida attorney general in contempt of court for flouting immigration order
A Miami federal judge overseeing a major immigration case found Attorney General James Uthmeier in contempt of court on Tuesday for violating her restraining order to stop enforcing a new state law that criminalizes undocumented immigrants when they arrive in Florida. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, who strongly criticized Uthmeier's conduct at a hearing last month, said the state attorney general crossed the line on April 23 when he informed police agencies 'there remains no judicial order that properly restrains you from' making arrests under Florida's immigration statute. 'Litigants cannot change the plain meaning of words as it suits them, especially when conveying a court's clear and unambiguous order,' Williams wrote in her contempt order, citing a passage from Lewis Carroll's classic, 'Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.' 'Fidelity to the rule of law can have no other meaning.' Must file reports on immigrant arrests to judge As punishment, Williams ordered Uthmeier to 'file bi-weekly reports detailing whether any arrests, detentions, or law enforcement actions pursuant to [the statute] have occurred, and if so, how many, when, and by which law enforcement agency.' The judge said the first report must be filed by July 1. She added that if any defendants in the case challenging the state law learn of any arrests, the attorney general must notify the court of the details of the arrest immediately. She said Uthmeier can seek to modify or terminate her reporting requirements in six months. Uthmeier, 37, is a Florida native who served as chief of staff for Gov. Ron DeSantis before he appointed him as the state's 39th attorney general in February. He has not appeared at a series of hearings before Williams. READ MORE: Courting controversy: Florida's attorney general is no stranger to conflict At first, Uthmeier seemed to obey the judge's restraining order when he instructed the Florida Highway Patrol and other police agencies on April 18 that they had to refrain from enforcing the immigration statute — after Williams learned FHP officers had arrested more than a dozen people for illegally entering the state under the new misdemeanor law, including a U.S. citizen. Told cops they didn't have to abide by judge's order But five days later, the attorney general did an about-face in his follow-up letter to the agencies, drawing the judge's wrath in a lawsuit brought by an immigration coalition and others challenging the constitutionality of the state law. The late May hearing set the stage for Williams' decision on Tuesday, which could have led to a civil contempt fine up to $1,000 and/or jail time up to six months. There's no precedent for a state attorney general ignoring a federal judge's order, certainly not in the Southern District of Florida. Uthmeier's defense lawyer, Jesse Panuccio, who formerly served in top positions in state government and the Justice Department under Republican administrations, said the judge was only focusing on a 'snippet' of the attorney general's April 23 letter to police agencies telling them they did not have to abide by the judge's order, not the whole context of his message. At the hearing, Panuccio disputed the judge's assertion that the attorney general violated her restraining order. 'I don't think this letter is saying that — there is no evidence,' he said, adding that state police agencies have not made any additional arrests since April 18, the date of her second restraining order. 'There is no contempt.' But a former federal prosecutor in Miami who specializes in civil litigation questioned the rationale of the attorney general's lawyer after listening to his argument. 'Half the parties in any proceeding think the court got it wrong when it rules against them,' attorney David S. Mandel told the Miami Herald. 'That's what the appellate court is there for. The losing party doesn't get to ignore the ruling in the meantime. That's 'Law 101.' ' Appeals panel backs Miami judge On Friday, a federal court appeals panel in Atlanta rejected the attorney general's challenge to Williams' injunction blocking the enforcement of the state law criminalizing undocumented immigrants when they arrive in Florida. The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit kept in place her order temporarily preventing police and prosecutors from making arrests and pursuing charges under Florida's SB-4, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in February. Uthmeier's office generally opposed the judge's injunction on enforcement. He specifically argued that it was too broad because it applied not only to the named defendants, the attorney general and various state prosecutors, but also to unnamed defendants, including local, county and state police agencies. In their ruling, the judges concluded that Uthmeier 'may well be right that the district court's order is impermissibly broad. But that does not warrant what seems to have been at least a veiled threat not to obey it.' Uthmeier's TV commentary During the hearing last month, Williams expressed umbrage not only with Uthmeier's letter to the state police agencies but also with his remarks in TV interviews and social media, as she paraphrased a few of his public comments: 'I'm not going to rubber stamp her order. ... I'm not going to ask law enforcement to stand down.' 'That's Mr. Uthmeier saying what he meant,' Williams told his attorney. 'It's pretty clear what he's saying.' Uthmeier also expressed his dissatisfaction with Williams in a recent interview with FOX 35 in Orlando: 'This is Law 101,' he said. 'She doesn't have jurisdiction.' At the hearing, an attorney representing immigrant groups that sued the state in Miami federal court said Uthmeier's letter was 'an attempt to evade and undermine the court's order.' 'It's clearly a contempt of court,' American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Cody Wofsy told Williams during the hearing. READ MORE: Did Florida attorney general cross a line telling cops they can ignore a court order? Uthmeier, whose views have been publicly backed by DeSantis, said the judge had no authority to order him to instruct FHP, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and other police agencies to refrain from arresting illegal immigrants upon arrival in the state because law enforcement officers are not named as defendants in the federal immigration case under Williams' review. Jeremy Redfern, a spokesman for Uthmeier, characterized Williams' position as 'lawfare' by an 'Obama-appointed judge' on the social media site X, suggesting she has used her power as a legal weapon to thwart the Republican-led government's efforts to assist the Trump administration on immigration enforcement. President Barack Obama appointed Williams to the Miami federal bench in 2010; the U.S. Senate confirmed her the following year. Plaintiffs: State's new law is unconstitutional The showdown between Williams and the state attorney general's office came nearly one month after the Florida Immigrant Coalition, Farmworker Association of Florida and others represented by ACLU lawyers filed suit in early April, saying the new state law is unconstitutional because only federal authorities have the power to enforce immigration laws. Williams agreed on a preliminary basis, citing the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution, which says federal law takes precedence over state and local laws. In late April, Williams said she was 'surprised and shocked' to learn that Uthmeier first told state police officers to obey her order not to arrest undocumented immigrants entering Florida but later said he 'cannot prevent' them from making arrests under the new state law. Williams issued her preliminary injunction on April 29 prohibiting all state law enforcement official and police agencies, including FHP, from arresting undocumented immigrants who come into Florida.
