TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed Friday to spend all $12 million he has been given by state lawmakers on flights and buses sending migrants to sanctuary cities and states in protest of what he calls President Biden’s “reckless” border policies.
“We’re going to spend every penny of that making sure we get them out of this state,” DeSantis said during a news conference in Daytona Beach.
At the same time, he conceded that the four dozen refugees flown from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday were not from Florida but were among those identified as “wanting to come to Florida.”
