Up to 1,100 Florida National Guard soldiers, state troopers, Fish and Wildlife officers and other law agents along with boats, airplanes and drones are poised to patrol the Texas border with Mexico as soon as Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday.
“We stand by ready to help with that because I think what you are seeing is going to be really, really bad, potentially very shortly,” DeSantis said during a news conference in Broward County.
“Given the crisis at the border, Florida decided to send the cavalry,” said Taryn Fenske, communications director for the governor. “Law enforcement agencies and their counterparts have been in contact with Texas officials for over a week. Governor DeSantis won’t let bureaucracy stand in the way of border security.”
“Governor DeSantis continues to waste taxpayer money on issues happening in other states, offering no real solutions to problems to Floridians on problems like housing affordability or property insurance,” said state Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando. “All he cares about is appealing to his Republican base and this is another performative example of that.”
State law enforcement officers encountered 9,171 undocumented immigrants with 3% of those contacts resulting in arrests, according to information the governor’s office provided to the Herald.
