Governor Ron DeSantis today announced a coalition of more than 90 sheriffs from across America who are united in the struggle to keep our communities safe from the ravages of our collapsed southern border. Two weeks ago, Governor DeSantis held a roundtable discussion in Cochise County, Arizona, with sheriffs from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Georgia, and Idaho as well as other public safety officials. The group discussed the devastating effects of the federal government’s failure to secure our border and committed to working together to protect American communities. While there, the Governor also received a confidential briefing from border sheriffs and prosecutors and toured a portion of the southern border where the wall was both incomplete and routinely circumvented by cartels and migrants illegally entering the United States.
“Illegal Immigration has not only ravaged communities along the southern border, it has harmed states across the country with the deadly influx of cartel-trafficked fentanyl and higher rates of violent crime,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “I’m proud to work with this growing group of law enforcement leaders and bring Florida’s dedicated resources and leadership to bear on this national problem.”
