Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey has issued a harsh warning to protesters planning demonstrations against ICE immigration enforcement. At a press conference, Ivey stated violent actions like throwing objects, blocking roads, or threatening officers would result in severe consequences – including arrest, injury from police dogs, or lethal force. “We will kill you, graveyard dead,” he warned protesters who attack deputies.
The sheriff’s aggressive stance comes as nationwide protests against ICE raids continue, including planned demonstrations during Donald Trump’s birthday events. Known for controversial statements, Ivey previously mocked drug busts on social media but also faced legal trouble for wrongly identifying someone in a fugitive roundup. Recent protests in Los Angeles highlight growing tensions over immigration policies.
