Trump immigration enforcement hampered by detention capacity, Florida sheriff warns
A Florida sheriff said law enforcement is 'waiting at go' to assist the Trump administration with immigration enforcement, but worries about the lack of detention capacity. Fox News Digital spoke with Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd on the current status of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Advertisement 'We heard President Trump loud and clear when he said start with the worst first, and let's get these illegal aliens out of the country,' Judd said. However, the sheriff pointed to a significant bottleneck: the lack of federal capacity to detain migrants, and that, despite arrests, 'they're turned [migrants] back into the street' due to ICE's limited resources. Judd pointed to the lack of holding facilities and the complications arising from federal rules, which generally prevent local jails from holding migrants for more than 48 hours after their release from local custody unless the jails have Intergovernmental Service Agreements (IGSAs) that allow for longer detention under federal authority. 3 Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd pointed to a lack of federal capacity to detain migrants for haults in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

'FFS': Football WAG and influencer Bec Judd urges Victorians to vote out Labor amid machete attacks and spiralling Melbourne youth crime
Rebecca 'Bec' Judd has issued a fiery call to action, urging Victorians to vote out the Labor government after a brutal machete attack unfolded at Northland Shopping Centre. The 42-year-old influencer and wife of retired AFL legend Chris Judd took to Instagram on Wednesday to express her outrage, after learning six of the seven young men arrested over the incident were out on bail at the time, including the alleged ringleaders. Reposting a Herald Sun article titled 'Accused ringleaders of Northland machete brawl were on bail', Judd wrote over a picture of the chaos: "Are we surprised. FFS." The mother-of-four then shared a follower's message: "How do we sack the Victorian state government?!" "It's pretty simple guys- STOP VOTING FOR THEM," she responded. While the next Victorian state election isn't due until November 28, 2026, Judd said she wants it to be sooner. "We can have a State Election next year (can we bring it forward?) where every Victorian has the opportunity to show them the door," she wrote. Never one to bite her tongue, the fashion mogul has long been critical of the state's response to youth crime, particularly in Melbourne's affluent bayside suburbs, where she lives with her family in a $7.3 million Spanish Colonial-style mansion. In 2022, Judd hit out at the government, then led by Premier Daniel Andrews, after a violent burglary occurred in her neighbourhood. "So sick of the rapes, bashings and home invasions at the hands of gangs in Bayside," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "The state government doesn't seem to care. We feel unsafe. "I personally know two women who have experienced home invasions in Brighton in the last few weeks while they were at home." Andrews dismissed her comments as "sweeping assessments", telling media, "I'm not interested in having an argument with Ms Judd." Judd continued to raise alarms the following year, after reports of a dog theft in her area sparked renewed fears for community safety. "Same s***. Different night," she wrote on Instagram. "And I'm well aware this isn't just happening in Bayside." She also encouraged her 752,000 followers to take action: "Write to your local MP and let them know if you have strong feelings on this issue." Judd has also drawn comparisons between her warnings and the state government's eventual crackdown. After Premier Jacinta Allan announced sweeping bail reforms in March, which she described as the "toughest" in the country, Judd reposted a throwback of her 2022 clash with Andrews, writing: "Gee, this aged well". "Imagine the lives that could've been saved," she added. "Imagine the terror experienced by so many Victorians that could've been stopped if the Dictator had acted when I called this out." Critics of Andrews gave him the moniker 'Dictator Dan' during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Melbourne endured some of the world's longest lockdowns. Judd, however, didn't let his successor off lightly either. She labelled the government's new bail laws "too late for many" but conceded it was "a start". "And mark my words, if the Government stuffs this up again, I will continue to let everyone to know about it," she wrote. In response to the Northland incident, Premier Allan fast-tracked a planned machete ban, originally slated for September, on Monday, announcing that it would come into effect immediately. "Those knives are dangerous weapons," Ms Allan said. "They have no place on our streets anywhere, and that is why I will introduce as many laws to get these dangerous knives off the streets." has contacted Ms Judd for comment.

I wish I could be that animated, but I just don't know how," Judd joked, with the two women later agreeing that they like Peppa Pig. Read the original article on People
