The law, passed during a February special legislative session, created state crimes for undocumented immigrants who enter or re-enter Florida.

The March 28 injunction ruling focused on the students, who are from China and say the law has prevented them from working as graduate teaching assistants, positions that carry stipends and other benefits.

Attorney General James Uthmeier says he complied with a temporary restraining order but was free to express his disagreement with the judge's decision in a letter sent to law enforcement agencies.

The law, passed during a February special legislative session, created state crimes for undocumented immigrants who enter or re-enter Florida.

The judge specified that her order applied to all law enforcement agencies, despite a recent memo to the contrary from Attorney General James Uthmeier, who may face a contempt charge because of the memo.

After the judge issued her order extension, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier sent a memo to state and local law enforcement officers telling them to refrain from enforcing the law, even though he disagreed with it.

Rep. Alex Andrade announced the decision after the Hope Florida Foundation’s lawyer, Jeff Aaron, and leaders of nonprofits that received $5 million grants from the foundation refused to appear before the panel.

Florida’s attorney general told reporters in Tampa that he had no role in the Hope Florida settlements. He also announced that the state would be doubling down on protecting children on social media.

Senate Ethics and Elections Chair Don Gaetz said that questions surrounding Hope Florida and its foundation contributed to his decision to hold off on considering the nominations at his committee’s final meeting.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration deny that the Hope Florida Foundation has done anything wrong.

Juul will send $30 million to the newly created Vape Free Florida Fund to help in the enforcement laws to protect “children from harmful marketing and products.”

Attorney General James Uthmeier said he's directed the Office of Statewide Prosecution to execute search warrants and issue subpoenas in what he calls “the now-active investigation into the Tate brothers.”
