🚨 BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just said he has submitted plans to President Trump's DHS that would allow Florida National Guard members to become immigration judges.Governor Ron DeSantis: "We have both a National Guard and a State Guard who are used to responding to different types of contingencies. We're ready, willing, and able to take it to the next level. We have submitted plans to DHS to say if this is approved, we will go off to the races and we will be able to do really from soup to nuts, from apprehension to detention, even putting some of our people in the National Guard in line to be, serve as immigration judges to process this. We can do it."And I'd also say you hear a lot about due process. We have tens of thousands of illegal aliens in Florida, at a minimum, that have already been issued final orders of removal, and there's hundreds of thousands of them throughout the United States of America. So they've had a lot of process, they've been ordered to be removed, they have not complied with those removal orders, and that's a very, very high priority for our state efforts to continue to identify those individuals and make sure that they return to their country of origin. "So I want to thank the federal agencies that have really led the way. It's been a welcome change here in the State of Florida. And also thank all of our state and local partners who worked really, really hard for this operation, but have been doing this now for many months. And we're proud to have been the first state out of the gate, but we view this as just the beginning. We think that the best is still yet to come. So thanks for everyone that's been involved."
