National Guard in Florida Keys Putting Pressure on Biden Admin

I put this in politics because it is politically motivated. And migrants coming into these states are then dispersed to Dem states more and more. Feel free to move this if need be.​

DeSantis activates National Guard in response to hundreds of migrants arriving in Florida Keys​

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has activated the state National Guard to provide support to local officials in response to the arrival of hundreds of migrants in the Florida Keys.

He signed an executive order on Friday to mobilize the Guard and direct Florida law enforcement agencies and other agencies to supply resources to local governments as they respond to the migrant landings.
“As the negative impacts of [President] Biden’s lawless immigration policies continue unabated, the burden of the Biden administration’s failure falls on local law enforcement who lack the resources to deal with the crisis,” DeSantis said in a release.

“That is why I am activating the National Guard and directing state resources to help alleviate the strain on local resources. When Biden continues to ignore his legal responsibilities, we will step in to support our communities,” he continued.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with his prepping for a 2024 POTUS run at all.

The decision comes at a moment complicated by broader, border-focused immigration fights that DeSantis has long-used to attack the Biden administration.

Would the problem be better addressed by the Key West P.D. ?

Not saying that. But politicians do love to take advantage of a crisis for the benefit of their own political agendas.

True, but at least it is a step towards addressing a massive problem, which has gone largely unaddressed, for the past 2 years.

It is a real issue evidently not just DeSantis making hay from nothing.
The national park service close one of the national parks in the keys because of it being inundated with migrants.
The keys have very few ways for people to disperse out of.
The Guard I would imagine a very useful resource to facilitate moving them to better suited locations. So sure it political, but the guard itself would be suited very well to help sustain and relocate people.
