"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Sends Additional Support to Texas Border"

Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida is sending additional members of the Florida National Guard and Florida State Guard to assist Texas in securing the southern border, in addition to the officers already deployed. The reinforcements will help Texas add barriers and support border security efforts. Florida has been providing direct law enforcement and military assistance to Texas since 2021, with significant encounters and arrests made by agencies such as the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The move comes as border encounters and illegal immigration continue to surge, with over 10 million illegal immigrants crossing the border since President Biden took office.
