Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey threatens to kill protesters 

Miami, June 13 (RHC)-- Protests defending immigrant communities against ICE raids have been taking place in cities across the United States, including New York, Seattle, Chicago, Austin, Las Vegas, Madison and Washington. 

A protest organizer in San Antonio, Texas, J.C. Casteneta, said: “They’re bringing up the troops.  They’re bringing up ICE.  People are scared.  But they’re the ones that should be scared, because we, as a community, we can make a difference.”

Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he has deployed more than 5,000 National Guard troops in his state.

And the sheriff in Florida’s Brevard County warned protesters his officers would “kill” them, ahead of expected nationwide protests this weekend.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey said: “If you throw a brick, a firebomb or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead.”

More than 1,800 rallies are planned across the U.S. Saturday under the banner of “No Kings Day,” coinciding with a $45 million taxpayer-funded military parade and 79th birthday bash for Trump.
