Trump immigration enforcement hampered by detention capacity, Florida sheriff warns

Florida Sheriff Grady Judd ready to support the Trump administration's immigration enforcement, but cites lack of detention capacity and calls for federal action.

"We heard President Trump loud and clear when he said start with the worst first, and let's get these illegal aliens out of the country," Judd said. Since joining in 2021, she’s covered high-stakes criminal justice—from the Menendez brothers’ resentencing, where Judge Jesic slashed their life-without-parole terms to 50-years-to-life (making them parole-eligible), to the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump's life and shifting immigration enforcement, including her reporting on South Florida’s illegal-immigration crisis, covering unprecedented migrant crossings from the Bahamas and ensuing enforcement operations.

However, the sheriff pointed to a significant bottleneck: the lack of federal capacity to detain migrants, and that, despite arrests, "they're turned [migrants] back into the street" due to ICE’s limited resources. Beyond those beats, she reports on crime, politics, business, lifestyle, world news, and more—delivering both breaking updates and in-depth analysis across Fox News Digital.
