Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) defended his state’s recent transport of illegal immigrants to Sacramento on Wednesday, arguing that sanctuary jurisdictions like California share the blame for the illegal immigration crisis.

Speaking from Arizona, where he hosted a roundtable on the southern border with sheriffs from various states, DeSantis criticized the lack of federal action in safeguarding U.S. sovereignty and territorial integrity. He specifically targeted sanctuary jurisdictions, suggesting that they should bear the consequences of the ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
