DeSantis shakes up GOP with surprise border visit and digital rights bill.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will visit the US southern border for the first time as a presidential candidate, meeting with law enforcement officials in Arizona. DeSantis has been positioning himself to the right of former President Donald Trump on immigration, praising his policies but arguing that he did not do enough to strengthen border security. The visit comes as the immigration debate intensifies during the start of the GOP primary campaign, with DeSantis seeking to appeal to conservative voters. The Biden administration has faced criticism from both sides of the aisle for its handling of the border crisis, with record-high apprehensions and strained shelter space across the country.
