Leading America’s Deportation Efforts

Florida isn’t backing down—we’re doubling down. The new Deportation Depot at Baker Correctional in Sanderson, FL is now open and ready to house up to 1,500 detainees just 15 minutes from the runway, modeled after the “Alligator Alcatraz.” Thank you to President Trump, Governor DeSantis, local officials, and everyone who worked tirelessly to make this happen and keep Florida safe!

Strengthening National Defense & Local Jobs

Just days before Baby Augusta arrived, I met with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to advance the 81st Readiness Division project in Alachua County—the first Equipment Concentration Supply (ECS) Unit in Florida. This will boost local economic development, improve hurricane readiness, and strengthen our national defense. Once complete, this project will serve as a model for future military readiness infrastructure across the state.

Honoring Florida’s First Responders

Florida’s first responders are the very definition of courage and selflessness. The stories highlighted through the SKY Valor Honors Program remind us that behind every uniform is a man or woman willing to run toward danger when others run away. From law enforcement to fire rescue to EMS, these heroes don’t just serve—they protect, comfort, and inspire us every single day. I was honored to recognize each of the Valor Award recipients with personal letters as small way to personally recognize their incredible service. Thank you all for everything you do and thank you to our friends at the SKY for their unwavering support!  Continue reading →

 From traveling across Florida’s Third District to advancing key initiatives in Washington, our work never stopped.

From meeting with local leaders and first responders to celebrating workforce and education milestones and preparing for the legislative fights ahead, this past month underscored how important it is to stay rooted in the needs of our community while carrying your voices to Washington.

On a personal level, my husband Matt and I were blessed to welcome our adorable daughter, Augusta Dair—our sweet Baby Peanut, affectionately known as Baby Auggie or Gussasaurus.

As always, it remains the greatest honor of my life to represent you in Congress and to hear directly about the issues that matter most—whether that’s lowering costs, keeping our communities safe, supporting our farmers, or ensuring Florida has the resources to thrive.

Washington, D.C. —U.S. Representatives Kat Cammack (R-FL) and Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) introduced a bipartisan resolution to expand prenatal screening for Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), a treatable blood clotting disorder linked to miscarriages, stillbirths, and other pregnancy complications.

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

“This year’s NDAA not only strengthens our national defense—it delivers real solutions to the challenges Americans face at home and abroad. By securing our supply chains, boosting cybersecurity, advancing cutting-edge research at universities, and cracking down on fentanyl trafficking, we’re giving our service members the tools they need while protecting our communities,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “I’m proud that nine of my amendments were included in this year’s bill, and I remain committed to ensuring America stays strong, secure, and ready to meet any challenge.”  Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Today, Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that the Office of Statewide Prosecution has charged six defendants with engaging in a multi-year scheme to commit large-scale theft and identity fraud across at least five counties in Florida.

“The broader issue at hand here is that repeat offenders pose a major threat to the safety of our communities,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Too often, these criminals are arrested, released, and given another chance to prey on innocent people. In Florida, we don’t just arrest criminals—we keep them behind bars where they belong.”

“The Office of Statewide Prosecution will deploy every tool to dismantle criminal networks made up of career fraudsters and thieves that prey on hardworking Floridians,” said Statewide Prosecutor Brad McVay.  “The Office will pursue hefty and enhanced charges to ensure individuals convicted of operating as part of one of these organized crime rings are kept behind bars for a very long time, where they can no longer victimize Floridians.”  Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that 230 suspects will be charged for involvement in illegal acts related to soliciting prostitutes, offering to commit prostitution, or transporting prostitutes. During this investigation, twelve possible human trafficking victims were identified and immediately offered support.

“Human traffickers are vile predators who exploit the vulnerable, and once again, a disproportionate number of those arrested in this sting were illegal aliens,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Here in Florida, we will not give these traffickers the opportunity to destroy more lives.”

“The online prostitution industry enables and empowers human traffickers, allowing them to profit off the people they exploit,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. “Our goal is to identify victims, offer them help, and arrest those who are fueling the exploitation of human beings (Johns) and those profiting from the exploitation of human beings. Prostitution is not a victimless crime – it results in human exploitation, misery, disease, dysfunction, drug and alcohol addiction, violence, and broken families.” Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General James Uthmeier’s Office of Statewide Prosecution is charging Luke Sedlock, Green Cove Springs, with three felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) as well as three felony counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device.

“Over and over again, our office is prosecuting predators who are using Snapchat to trade disgusting content and victimize children. Protecting our kids is my utmost priority,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Our statewide prosecutors will ensure that this predator is held accountable for his abhorrent behavior.”

The investigation was launched by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in August 2025 based on tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. On Thursday, September 11, the Green Cove Springs Police Department executed a search warrant at Sedlock’s residence. Investigators located his electronic devices, which contained both sexual abuse material involving young children and animals.

Sedlock is currently being held in the Clay County Jail on a $600,000 bond; he is not permitted to have access to devices with internet capabilities or contact with any person under the age of 18.

ORLANDO, Fla.— Attorney General Uthmeier joined Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas at Valencia College to announce the launch of new tool for citizens to help identify and combat politically-motivated violence.

The secure online portal allows the public to submit screenshots, videos, and other evidence of threats of violent extremism directly to Attorney General Uthmeier’s Office of Statewide Prosecution. Submissions may be anonymous. Prosecutors will review each report and, where appropriate, prosecute those responsible for the threat. This portal is not intended for emergencies. Citizens facing an immediate threat should call 911.

“The idea of someone being assassinated for peacefully opposing such radical ideals is vile and anti-American,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Threats of political violence will not be tolerated in Florida. That is why today we are launching a new tool, simply named the Combat Violent Extremism Portal, to report acts or threats of political violence.” Continue reading →
