WCTV: Leon County Commission accepts $500K grant to reimburse expenses incurred for ICE cooperation

“Commissioner David O’Keefe voted against accepting the grant.

“This is not public safety, this is stoking fear. It’s my job to protect dignity and humanity. It also includes reporting into a database that goes into the immigration system, all interactions with people who are suspected immigrants, whether they are arrested or not,” O’Keefe said. “Including vast information about their work, personal life, including pictures of their faces.”
