God, we thank you for bringing us together this morning. God, we ask that you would just cover our students cover our families cover our children as we send them back to school. God, we ask that you would be with the teachers be with the administration be with the entire community God, so that this will be a successful year for our students. God, we pray that no barrier, no challenge and no weapon formed against them shall prosper, because we know that in your hands, they will thrive, they will hope they will affirm, and they will transcend because they were born to be that. And so God, we give you all the glory, we give you all the honor for a successful school year In your son, Jesus name Amen." Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings was very clear on why he opted to sign an agreement regarding ICE and the transportation of immigrant detainees by Orange County law enforcement. The burden would be overwhelming to an already understaffed jail personnel. So, in an effort to avoid the removal of County Commissioners and his position by the governor, the Mayor did sign an agreement (which can be seen below). There will be further discussion this Tuesday, August 5th at 9am in the County Council meeting to see the addendum Mayor Demings signed, click the link below in your browser file:///C:/Users/mmay/Downloads/08-01-2025-ice-addendum-signed-by-orange-county-mayor-jerry-demings%20(1).pdf
