Governor DeSantis Sends 1,100 Law Enforcement and National Guard Members to Texas-Mexico Border in Response to Biden Administration Immigration Policy

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Tuesday that he will be sending more than 1,100 law enforcement officers and National Guard members to the Texas-Mexico border. The move comes in response to the Biden administration’s recent decision to allow for the lapse of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that made it easier to expel migrants.

In an online statement, DeSantis said the federal government’s abdication of duty undermines the sovereignty of the country and the rule of law. He also said that the impacts of the Biden administration’s border crisis are being felt by communities across the nation.

The Governor’s office said that the state agencies, including law enforcement and the Florida National Guard, will be providing resources to the Texas border. The resources will include personnel, equipment, and other support.

The Governor’s office also said that the state will be working with local law enforcement and the federal government to ensure that the resources are used effectively and efficiently.

The announcement comes as the Biden administration has been facing criticism from Republicans for its handling of the immigration crisis at the southern border. The administration has been accused of not doing enough to address the influx of migrants.

Governor DeSantis’ decision to send more than 1,100 law enforcement officers and National Guard members to the Texas-Mexico border is the latest move in the ongoing battle between the Biden administration and Republicans over immigration policy. It remains to be seen how the move will affect the situation at the border.
