Florida GovRonDeSantis announced a series of measures Friday in response to the crisis at the southern border.
"Illegal aliens are being smuggled across the border in record numbers, which the reckless policies of the Biden administration facilitate," the Republican governor said."Today, Florida has taken additional action to protect our state from the effects of what is a full-fledged border crisis."The first action is the formation of a strike force to combat human smuggling, human trafficking, and the slew of illegal weapons being transported though Florida.
"In the span of just three days, in Northwest Florida, law enforcement interdicted five illegal aliens from Honduras and two from El Salvador who were arrested and charged with human smuggling or solicitation to commit human smuggling," the release reads."The strike force also recovered almost four grams of fentanyl, which is enough to kill nearly 2,000 Floridians."
