Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been credited for his administration's efforts in re-arresting an undocumented individual, charged with rape in Oregon, who was initially set to be released back into the community in Florida. The Biden administration initially planned for the release of the alleged rapist, but faced with pressure from DeSantis' administration and assistance from the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) in tracking the individual, federal authorities reversed their decision. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cited a lack of bed space as the reason for the initial release decision, but this stance was changed after the intervention by state officials and local law enforcement. This action aligns with DeSantis' broader initiative to get criminal aliens off the streets.
Thank you @GovRonDeSantis and law enforcement for ensuring that this dangerous illegal alien (charged with r4pe in Oregon) is now locked up! https://t.co/aid0c30WCl
