Friend, Florida is the tip of the spear in the battle to secure our borders and enforce our laws. Under my leadership, we’ve taken bold, decisive action to protect our communities and uphold the rule of law. It started with Operation Tidal Wave, a historic crackdown that led to the arrest of over 1,100 illegal aliens in just five days. This wasn’t just a win for Florida—it was a wake-up call for the nation. |
How did we do it? Florida banned sanctuary cities, ensuring no corner of our state harbors lawbreakers. We deputized more state and local law enforcement officers to work hand-in-hand with ICE, multiplying our strength. And we passed the strongest immigration enforcement legislation in the country, sending a clear message: Florida will not tolerate illegal immigration. Operation Tidal Wave was so successful that the federal government is now racing to replicate our model nationwide, with plans to roll out a similar program in the next 60 days. |
