Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has appointed the architect of the controversial migrant flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard to lead the state’s new immigration enforcement board, just days after signing what he claims is the nation’s strictest immigration legislation.
This appointment signals Florida’s swift implementation of the new law, which stiffens penalties for crimes committed by undocumented immigrants and allocates almost $300 million to bolster state and local involvement in federal immigration enforcement.
