“Blakeman's armed "provisional deputy sheriff" program is authorized by state law.”

Blakeman cites a state law on emergency special deputies; Democratic legislators Mulé and Davis sued in Nassau County Supreme Court (Feb 2025) alleging the program violates general municipal law. As of July 2026 the case remains pending at the motion-to-dismiss stage with no ruling, so the legal question is unresolved.
