This is NOTHING but another political stunt….
Florida and Texas are NOT the Federal Government….
They are NOT the US Custom’s Service,,,,
They don’t have the Right to enforce US Immigration Law…..
(Taking law enforcement asset from their state for this 3 week politicval stunt)
But Ron DeSantis IS running fo0r President and he’s allied with Texas Governor Abbott who thinks he runs his own country…..
Not State…..
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Tuesday he will send state law enforcement officers to the southern border in Texas, a tactical maneuver that will test how far the state will go to help enforce immigration law as the Republican governor prepares to launch a presidential campaign.
The governor’s office said hundreds of state troopers, police and Florida National Guard members, plus boats and planes, are ready to head to the border as early as Wednesday. The mission is expected to last 31 days and will consist of three separate endeavors, according to a copy of Texas’ request to Florida for help.
“Texas is requesting assisting states absorb associated costs with this mission in support of the entire country,” states the request, which was sent on Tuesday.
Florida has been asked to help Texas officers “deter, detect and interdict criminal activity” along its 1,250-mile southern border. The specific locations will be determined by the Texas Military Department, but records show they could include El Paso, Del Rio and the Rio Grande Valley sector.
During the mission, Texas will give Florida state law enforcement officers and guardsmen “the same arrest and law enforcement powers, rights, and privileges while operating within the state limits of Texas as are ordinarily afforded law enforcement forces of the State of Texas,” records show.
“While Biden ignores the crisis he created, Florida stands ready to help Texas respond to this crisis,” DeSantis said in a statement…..
Florida’s largesy city Jacksonville elected a Democratic mayor in an upset yesterday.
