DeSantis To Send Troops To Lay Razor Wire In Texas

The Miami Herald reports:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday announced he is sending members of the Florida State Guard, a civilian military force under his control, and other state resources to the U.S.-Mexico border to help Texas stop what he called an “invasion.”

“The goal is to help Texas fortify this border, help them strengthen the barricades, help them add barriers, help them add the wire that they need so that we can stop this invasion once and for all,” DeSantis said at a press conference in Jacksonville.

DeSantis said State Guard members would be deployed to Texas alongside members of the Florida National Guard and Florida Highway Patrol troopers, who in recent years have taken part in Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiatives.
