PUNTA GORDA, Fla.—Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Feb. 7 met with faith leaders and Cuban Americans to discuss the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border.

DeSantis said that “failed border policies” are “endangering migrant children” and the nation as a whole by promoting human trafficking, which has risen 35 percent year-over-year in fiscal year 2021, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
