Florida Governor Sends Law Enforcement to Texas-Mexico Border.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is sending over 1,100 state law enforcement agents and National Guard members to the Texas border with Mexico, a tenfold increase compared to a similar move in 2021. The move comes just weeks ahead of his expected presidential launch and amid his renewed focus on immigration. The personnel will be at the border for 30 days, with possible extensions, and will include 800 members of the Florida National Guard, 200 agents from the state Department of Law Enforcement, 101 state highway patrol troopers, 20 agents from the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Department of Emergency Management, 5 fixed-wing aircraft, 17 unmanned drones, and 10 waterborne vessels.
