After pressure on federal authorities from Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration and Florida Republican Rep. Brian Mast, authorities in Martin County were able to re-arrest an undocumented Guatemalan man with an out-of-state warrant for rape and sexual abuse.

“Governor DeSantis has zero tolerance for illegal alien criminals who shouldn’t even be in this country in the first place,” said DeSantis’ communications director, Bryan Griffin. “At the governor’s direction, senior state law enforcement officials immediately reached out to ICE to insist local law enforcement had the authority to re-detain this individual and ensure he wouldn’t be able to bring harm to Floridians.”

Mast was also heavily involved, pressuring top U.S. immigration authorities into rectifying the situation, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told Florida’s Voice. The congressman had called out federal authorities Friday night, calling the release of the suspect “stupidly dangerous.”
