TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Florida’s new Attorney General has been sworn in and he’s running. After taking the oath of office, James Usmeer was in office with Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Cabinet holding an emergency meeting to implement immigration enforcement action.
Desantis called Uthmeier the Bulldog as Chief of Staff for his administrator. In the first act of his new job, he is working on illegal immigration.
“We will use the Attorney General’s office to punish criminals, protect innocent people, and do things that stand boldly by brave law enforcement,” Usmeyer said.
Uthmeier previously served as the governor’s chief of staff, but before that he was an advisor to the governor who oversees all the state’s litigation and legal work.

“I try to do the right thing every day and put justice where it comes to deadline,” he said.
DeSantis said the new Attorney General will be extremely important in this new era of American governance.
“It’s often easier to follow the path of least resistance, but sometimes throughout our administration, James always fought in digging for the right thing, even if it wasn’t always easy. He was there.

Desantis said he has the authority to remove local leaders from his job and fines for those who don’t stay in the law. It sparked protests in Tampa Bay over the weekend.
“I will do everything I can. All the powers and tools within the Attorney General’s office will be enforced by the state attorneys and prosecutors, local law enforcement agencies and the federal government. I work to do it,” Uthmeier said.
