DeSantis deploys Florida law enforcement and National Guard to assist with border crisis.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is sending 1,301 law enforcement officers, along with aircraft, drones, and boats, to Texas to assist with border security at the request of Texas Governor Greg Abbott. This move comes amid DeSantis's ongoing criticism of President Biden and federal immigration policies. The deployment will last for 31 days and will focus on the Del Rio and Rio Grande Valley sectors. DeSantis recently signed a sweeping immigration bill into law that limits social services for immigrants without permanent legal status and expands the use of E-Verify.
