Florida Republican Party chairman Joe Gruters dismissed accusations of racism after video surfaced Tuesday showing him talking with a migrant child while leaning against a"Faces of Criminal Illegals" sign showing 35 people who have been deported.
The sign does not indicate which countries the individuals were deported to nor the crime committed which led to their detaining by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement . After a Miami New Times reporter labeled the sign"absurdly racist," Gruters pushed back on Twitter Tuesday. "Seven year old Isaac shared his story with Senator @JoeGruters, who is sponsoring a hateful anti-immigrant bill that will separate immigrant families for minor things like driving without a license. Isaac asked him, 'Are you with me?' Unfortunately Senator Gruters is not," Florida immigration activist Thomas Kennedy, who was at Gruters' office, tweeted Tuesday.
SB 168, alongside House Bill 527, is an anti-"sanctuary" bill that forces Florida towns to cooperate with federal immigration agencies despite no area of Florida having currently stated they intend to subvert federal law.
