James Uthmeier

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Governor Ron DeSantis have been raising alarms about the issue after an undocumented truck driver caused a fatal collision in the state earlier this month that killed three people.

The compound 7-hydroxymitragynine is extracted from Kratom leaves. One key difference is that 7-OH products are more similar to prescription opioids like morphine.

Uthmeier said in March he would not defend the law, but Wednesday’s brief appeared to go further by arguing the Supreme Court should take up the case and find the law unconstitutional.

He's pushing for a rare mid-decade census that could change congressional seats before the 2026 midterms.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued an emergency rule banning a compound known as 7-OH. This is a concentrated byproduct of kratom.

Two more people were arrested and charged under the law in July, according to a report Florida’s attorney general is required to file.

Commissioners Kelly Martinez Semrad and Nicole Wilson voted against the addendum to the county agreement with ICE. Mayor Jerry Demings hinted that a legal fight is on the horizon.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Tuesday he suing the operators of XVideos, XNXX, and other pornographic websites after they have failed to comply with a state law meant to prevent children from accessing graphic content.

Attorney General James Uthmeier threatened office removal if Mayor Jerry Demings and the county commission didn't permit corrections officers to transport detainees to ICE detention centers.

AG James Uthmeier wrote an online letter to Mayor Jerry Demings and county commissioners warning they are in violation of state law by not agreeing to an addendum to the county's 287(g) agreement.

A few days after a flash flood in Texas killed at least 135 people, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier promoted a new law he says will help the state avoid the same scenario.

In a letter to law enforcement agencies, Uthmeier said he could not prevent police from enforcing the new immigration law “where there remains no judicial order that properly restrains you from doing so.”
