“So we're all good with that? Okay, so we don't have to have that. Which leads us to our last discussion item, the city's involvement in the 287G agreement, which is my item. I brought it in speaking to some of the members that came before us today to speak on behalf of this item, I wanted to give them an opportunity to hear from our police department to clear up some of the misinformation. And let me be clear, my position has not changed. I am not in favor of the city voluntarily entering into this 287 G agreement. We did not have to do it, but I believe our police department is catching some…”

“Good to see you. Look at you guys looking all handsome and pretty. Handsome and pretty. Please. But let me say again now, my position hasn't changed. We shouldn't voluntarily enter into an agreement when we didn't have to legally. That position hasn't changed. But it is important for me to let the community know what we are and aren't doing. I don't want us to have a black eye or get credit for something that you shouldn't be taking credit for.”

“But did you answer our question? I don't think you said the same thing that the manager said. I'm not sure. I might have missed it. But you are not. Other than three officers that were deployed to and now it's only two. officers that were deployed to immigration, our men and women in blue are not targeting any immigrant and pulling, because I look Hispanic and you pull me over and you're like, let me see your green card or your naturalization papers. None of our officers are doing that. Is that correct?”

“George, you know, I've never changed my mind, but George, let me, and you know, I beat up on you a little bit past couple of commission meetings, but I just have to say this, George, seven and a half million dollars is worth saving a life, a family. We'll make it up some kind of way. I know you didn't mean to be insensitive by throwing that in the mix that we might lose seven and a half million dollars, but we will figure it out. We will figure it out. What happened to Key West?”

“I think we have a lot to think about. I don't hear anybody trying to make a motion one way or the other. I brought this item because I wanted our community to have as much information as they could with respect to our police department's involvement. I disagree with if we didn't enter into the agreement, we would be a sanctuary city. We can't really be a sanctuary city because we're part of the whole of Miami-Dade County, and Miami-Dade County is definitely the enforcer. The sheriff's office had no choice, and we fall squarely within Miami-Dade County. So I don't know how we could have been…”

“And the fear, fear is fear. The fear is real because my best friend's husband, who is an American citizen, walks around with his passport. Because he doesn't speak English well, heavy accent, and is afraid. He's afraid, but he's a U.S. citizen. I'm a U.S. citizen. You're a U.S. citizen. We shouldn't be afraid of being detained. So thank you all. As always, thank you for your advocacy. I hear, I see our city clerk waving his hand before I can close the meeting.”
