“These sanctuary jurisdictions are part of the reason we have this problem because they have endorsed and agitated for these types off open border policies,” DeSantis said. “They have bragged they are sanctuary jurisdictions. They attack the previous admin efforts to try to have border security … When they have to deal with some of the fruits of that they all of a sudden become very, very upset about that.”

DeSantis also in his response said “this policy had been debated” and “vetted” by Florida legislators who had agreed to set aside millions for the migrant relocation program. …

“My advice to Gavin Newsom go kick rocks and change your policy because it sucks for everybody,” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said on Fox News on Wednesday. “Don’t be mad that you have to deal with it now.”
