Florida Governor Calls on Biden to Resume Trump Immigration Policies
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he is sending a letter to President Joe Biden today asking him to continue the prior policy that allowed authorities to deport illegal immigrants in custody who had committed crimes.
DeSantis told reporters on Thursday that the Biden administration is removing detainers from illegal immigrants. Detainers are “critical for ICE to be able to identify and ultimately remove criminal aliens who are currently in federal, state or local custody.”
“We’ve already had in Florida a handful of criminal aliens that had finished their sentences and the detainers were removed by the Biden administration,” the governor said. “Normally they would have been transferred to federal custody and removed, and now the federal government is effectively releasing them into our communities.”
