The legal request seeks all communications from the city\u2019s Hispanic Outreach Coordinator following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/news\/local\/jacksonville-hispanic-outreach-coordinator-resumes-duties-after-ice-related-comments\/4TZUPLF4VJBUVOVZWQX3I57KOE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/news\/local\/jacksonville-hispanic-outreach-coordinator-resumes-duties-after-ice-related-comments\/4TZUPLF4VJBUVOVZWQX3I57KOE\/\">controversial livestream regarding local immigration operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">The subpoena follows an incident involving Hispanic Outreach Coordinator Yanira Cardona, who was placed on leave last month. Cardona allegedly posted a social media livestream warning residents about the locations of immigration operations and encouraging people to stay home to avoid law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">The subpoena requests all texts, emails and phone calls made by Cardona, the city\u2019s Hispanic Outreach Coordinator. Investigators are looking for specific keywords, including the names and vehicle descriptions of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">The request also seeks slideshows and references to methods used to evade law enforcement. The attorney general is also seeking records involving Jennifer Cruz, a woman accused of assaulting law enforcement agents during immigration operations in Jacksonville last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Cruz was arrested in January during the same period the outreach coordinator\u2019s livestream was posted. Uthmeier suggested the investigation could reveal violations of state or federal law if Cardona collaborated with other individuals or groups to help immigrants evade authorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Uthmeier noted that local officials have a legal duty to assist the federal government under a state law passed in February 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE &lt;&lt;&lt;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><b>[DOWNLOAD: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a><b>]<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><b>[SIGN UP: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/membercenter.actionnewsjax.com\/newsletters\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a><b>] <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Click here<\/b><\/a><b> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>click here<\/b><\/a><b> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/video\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>click here<\/b><\/a><b> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has issued a subpoena to the City of Jacksonville and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":528609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5136],"tags":[5229,3188,723,7310,14521,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,234517],"class_list":["post-577853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-america","tag-fl","tag-florida","tag-jacksonville","tag-james-uthmeier","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-uthmeier"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116041726554953001","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
