Florida sheriff warns protesters planning violence: ‘We will kill you graveyard dead'
A Florida Sheriff delivered a stern warning to anyone planning protests against ICE or President Trump — threatening to respond to violence with deadly force.
'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 because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We're not going to play.' Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said Thursday.
'If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies … we will kill you, graveyard dead,' Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned protesters.

'If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave in our county, you're most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street,' the Republican sheriff said during the immigration news conference.
'If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital, then jail. If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital, jail, and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs we have here,' Ivey warned.
The sheriff's deadly declaration comes as a slew of anti-Trump and anti-ICE protests are expected to continue across the nation this weekend.

'No Kings' protests have previously denounced Trump and Elon Musk, the former leader of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.
The themed protests, led by the national anti-authoritarianist 50501 Movement, have called for Trump to be 'dethroned' and have compared his actions to those of a King.

President Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 US Marines to Los Angeles after violent protests erupted over the weekend over his deportation crackdown.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, following a similar cue, ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops on Thursday, along with more than 2,000 state police, in response to the ongoing demonstrations this weekend.

'No Kings' demonstrators to gather across Greater Cincinnati in opposition to Trump
A string of protests is planned throughout Greater Cincinnati as part of a nationwide movement opposed to President Donald Trump and his administration. The June 14 "No Kings" protests, organized by activist group Indivisible and its partners, are described as a "nationwide day of defiance." Events are slated to take place in nearly 2,000 communities across the nation to oppose what organizers describe as "corrupt, authoritarian politics." Numerous protests are scheduled to take place in the afternoon locally throughout Greater Cincinnati, including: Cincinnati – University Pavilion (University of Cincinnati): 2618 University Circle, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219. Union Township – Veterans Memorial Park: 906 Clough Pike, 45245. Loveland – Loveland Elementary School: 600 Loveland-Madeira Road, Loveland, Ohio 45140. Mason – Intersection of Mason Montgomery Road and Tylersville Road, 45040. West Chester Township – Intersection of Tylersville Road and Cox Lane, 45069. Hamilton – Intersection of South Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and High Street, 45011. Middletown – Towne Mall: 3461 Towne Blvd., 45005. Oxford – Uptown Park: intersection of Main Street and High Street, 45056. Falling on Flag Day and Trump's birthday, the day of protest is intended to help counter Trump's planned Washington, D.C. military parade. It also coincides with large-scale protests in Los Angeles, which erupted in response to Trump's immigration policy. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is carrying out a directive from Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. The aggressive crackdown has fueled anger and protests in Los Angeles and across the country, which have led to hundreds of arrests amid occasional violent clashes, vandalism and looting. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on June 8 outside the Butler County Jail to protest the arrest of 19-year-old Honduran immigrant Emerson Colindres, who was detained by ICE agents on June 4 during a routine check-in with immigration officials at the agency's office in Blue Ash. The Enquirer will have reporters covering the protests and will update this story. USA TODAY contributed to this report.
