This is a major victory.
Miami was one of the worst of all when it came to harboring these criminals. And they cracked like a Cuban smuggler offered a plea deal.

Florida’s most populated county is no longer considered to be a “sanctuary jurisdiction” by the Justice Department. As a result, Miami-Dade will be eligible for certain federal grant money denied to other immigration “sanctuary cities.”
On Friday, the Department of Justice sent a letter to Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez (R), notifying him that the county was in compliance with federal immigration requirements and would therefore be eligible for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) grants.

However, the letter sent by Alan Hanson, acting assistant attorney general, also warned that the Justice Department will continue to monitor the county to ensure they remain in compliance with the rules.
On Saturday, Gimenez wrote a memo to the Miami Board of County Commissioners, informing them that the county will spend the $481,347 JAG grant to “enhance the [Miami-Dade Police Department’s] intelligence gathering and police operations with investments in technology and specialized equipment.”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has threatened to cut federal funding from any cities that do not comply with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests. Miami-Dade was one of 10 jurisdictions to receive a letter from the Trump administration in April, warning that it could lose funds if it did not change its policies.
The county had been considered a “sanctuary jurisdiction” after enacting detention policies in 2013 to discontinue housing undocumented immigrants in jails after they were set to be released. At the time, Gimenez said the policy would save the city around $600,000 a year, according to the Miami Herald.
In February, Miami-Dade became the first major jurisdiction to reverse its immigration policies to reflect those of newly elected President Donald Trump. Hundreds of protesters urged the Miami-Dade commission to vote against the new policies to honor any ICE detainer requests.
You made the right decision, mate.
We would have sent the feds in to shut you down.
So far, Miami-Dade is the only large jurisdiction to reverse its immigration policies in response to the threats made by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
In July, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued Miami-Dade for complying with Trump’s immigration detainer policies. The civil-rights group argued that the immigration detainer policy prohibition against unlawful seizures under the Fourth Amendment and the guarantee of due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, according to the filing.
This might seem like a baby step. And it is.
But it is a baby step in the right direction.
And that means something.
Symbolically, to have a city like Miami crack like this, even on something that may seem like a technicality, is a major leap.
It shows the power of Trump to inflict his will on those who would dare to stand against him.
