Key West, which voted last week to become a sanctuary city, changed its mind after intense pressure from state-level elected officials.

Key West commissioners at a city hall meeting on Tuesday night voted to uphold an agreement it had with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to cooperate with the Trump administration's mass deportation effort.

Those same commissioners chose in a 6-1 vote to void that same agreement last week and turn the area into a sanctuary city . 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier had threatened to remove Key West elected and unelected officials from their offices.

As a result, three of the six commissioners who initially voted to void the agreement, changed their vote. 

Key West Mayor Danise Henriquez also voted to restore the agreement which will allow local police officers to stop, question and detain illegal aliens.
