A federal choose final fall struck down key parts of that legislation, “declaring parts of a legislation unconstitutional and tinged with ‘discriminatory motives,’” Miami Herald reported on the time. The courtroom’s ruling cited “biased and unreliable information generated” by organizations throughout the racist Tanton community. That community additionally has a tie to the laws handed by Florida Republicans this week. Miami New Occasions reported in 2019 that Tanton network-linked group FLIMEN and SB 1808 lead sponsor Aaron Bean “corresponded repeatedly” previously.
Orlando Sentinel stated that Bean claimed SB 1808 “was supposed, no less than partly, to stop undocumented immigrants from being flown into Florida within the ‘lifeless of evening.’” Oh gimme a fucking break.
