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.

Detroit police investigate suspected murder-suicide on city's west side

Residents living in one neighborhood on Detroit's west side are still reeling after a suspected murder-suicide on Tuesday. Police are investigating the incident that occurred on the 18000 block of Shaftsbury Avenue. While people were getting ready for bed, the unthinkable happened. Detroit police were called to the home around 11:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found a woman with a gunshot wound. She was taken to the hospital, where she later died. "There was not any type of argument or fight that was heard by anyone in the home before this occurred. It was really a shock to the family," said Detroit Police Commander Rebecca McKay. Investigators say the victim was shot by her boyfriend of several years. They say he then turned the gun on himself. "We did not find any history, at least no history on paper of any kind of domestic violence between the couple. We did find a history of mental illness with the suspect in the past," McKay said. DPD says they have resources that can help with both domestic violence and mental illness. "If you reach out to the Detroit Police Department, we can put you in touch with our victim assistance program," McKay said. Neighbors who live on the block and knew the family were surprised and devastated by the news. They say stuff like this doesn't happen in the neighborhood. "Murder-suicide is one of the worst things that can take place," said resident Reginald Williams. "I'd never had any problems with them. They spoke, kind of kept to themselves. It's just a sad situation. For something like this to happen here is unheard of," Williams said. The victim's mother and two of her three children were in the home at the time. One of the victim's children, a 15-year-old who is non-verbal, was not home. "It's unfortunate they're going to be left behind, but they have a strong family that will help lift them up," Williams said.

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.
