PUNTA GORDA, Fla.—On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding transparency and that they cease sending illegal aliens to Florida.

“President [Joe] Biden, Vice President [Kamala] Harris, and their administration have refused to fulfill their responsibility to enforce immigration laws enacted by Congress and the resulting influx of unvetted illegal aliens endangers our national security and undermines the socioeconomic wellbeing of hardworking American citizens,“ DeSantis said in a written statement. ”Unfortunately, even though the federal government is responsible for immigration enforcement, it is the states who bear the brunt of this administration’s reckless immigration policies.”
