As tensions escalate in several states in the United States over the Donald Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, a Florida sheriff issued a chilling warning to protesters: violence against law enforcement will be met with deadly force.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey- amid protests erupting in multiple cities- said in no uncertain terms, “If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains. Because we will KLL you — graveyard DAD. We’re not gonna play."
His statement came in response to rising protests in Los Angeles, where US Donald Trump controversially deployed 4,000 Guard troops and 700 Marines to suppress unrest tied to mass immigration raids. The move has drawn legal challenge and political outrage.
Sheriff Ivey continued his warning, saying, “If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital, then jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and jail- and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs. If you try to mob-rule a car in Brevard County- gather around it, refuse to let the driver leave- you’re most likely going to get run over."
Crisis Over Guard Deployment In Los Angeles
The remarks come amid a constitutional tug-of-war between California Governor Gavin Newsom and the Trump administration. A federal judge ruled that the White House’s decision to federalise California’s Guard troops without the state’s consent was illegal. The court ordered the troops to return to state control- a decision now temporarily stayed by a federal appeals court.
What’s The Situation In Los Angeles?
The Guard remains in Los Angeles, where protests continue against ICE operations. Donald Trump defended the move, claiming it was necessary to prevent “Los Angeles from burning down." US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to say whether he would comply with the judge’s ruling, instead defending the president’s authority and criticizing what he called “judicial overreach."
