Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken significant steps to combat illegal immigration and transnational crime, including signing bills that target illegal immigration and warn Haitian refugees against coming to Florida. The legislation increases penalties for crimes committed by illegal immigrants who return to Florida after deportation, with DeSantis stating, "If you have been deported and come back illegally and commit a crime in Florida, we are throwing the book at you." Additionally, DeSantis announced that Florida agents interdicted a vessel carrying 25 suspected illegal aliens from Haiti, which was found to be carrying firearms and drugs. The vessel was turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation. These actions are part of DeSantis's broader effort to address the border crisis, receiving support from Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who presented DeSantis with a "BS flag," slamming media and Democrats for downplaying the border crisis.
