In this week’s edition of Facing South Florida:
CBS News Miami’s Jim DeFede talks to State Senator Joe Gruters about the building and opening of Operation Alcatraz. Gruters was among the Florida contingent who toured the facility with President Donald Trump earlier this week.
And, Key West commissioners are getting pushback from the Florida attorney general for challenging state law when they voted to withdraw from an agreement that allows “ICE” to commandeer local police officers to participate in ICE raids. Jim talks to Key West City Commissioner Sam Kaufman about the vote, and what’s next.
Plus, DeFede talks to State Sen. Lori Berman, the Democratic leader in the state senate about the Florida state budget, just signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. The two discuss the $600 million in line item vetos that Governor made, and the funding and programs from where that money was taken.
