"The denial of any collaboration with ICE outside of the formal 287(g) agreement is evidence in itself, advocates locally argue, that the LCSO knew this was against the public trust and see it as sufficient reason to dismantle the current 287(g) agreement and change the leadership at LCSO."

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.

Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”

The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”

Just got back from the protest in Ft. Myers, Florida.
Thought there would be a few hundred people.
Wrong.
There were a few thousand
Calm, police presence cool, no problems.
Thank you Lee Co, including LCSO.
Never been so proud to be a Floridian.

IN general, ICE activity (brutality & violence) in SWFL is NOT being reported even though Lee County has the highest number of "encounters" in the entire state. LCSO has logged over 3,500!!

Racists are cheering it on & good people don't even know it's happening RIGHT HERE.

LCSO asks to contact dispatch with any information about Smith's whereabouts. Members of the public should not attempt to apprehend or detain Smith themselves, they added.
LCSO ‘Warrant Wednesday’ flees, remains outstanding, stolen property recovered
On the morning of Thursday, September 24, 2026, detectives with the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit observed this week’s Warrant Wednesday wanted subject, Tracy Conrad Smith, at his last known residence in the 1000 block of Badger Street in Silver Springs. As deputies arrived on scene, Smith fled the area on foot to the south and out of view.

They did end up letting him out, but I can almost guarantee you, as I live in this city, that if there had not been a MASSIVE media presence in town because of the shooting at FSU by the step-son of a LCSO deputy, that LCSO detention would have held Mr. Gomez for ICE to pick up and vanish him.
