Governor DeSantis Adds More Protections for
Floridians from Biden’s Border
Crisis
Governor
DeSantis announced three significant actions Florida is taking to
protect residents from the Biden Border Crisis.
- First,
Governor DeSantis announced that Florida has formed a strike force of
state and local law enforcement to interdict human smuggling and human
trafficking, and to seize illegal weapons being transported through
the state.
- Second,
Governor DeSantis filed a petition with the Florida Supreme Court to
impanel a statewide grand jury to examine international human
smuggling networks that bring aliens to the southern border, and
ultimately to Florida.
- Third,
Governor DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1808, sweeping legislation he
proposed to further protect Floridians from the Biden Border
Crisis.
“Illegal
aliens are being smuggled across the border in record numbers, which
the reckless policies of the Biden administration facilitate,”
Governor DeSantis said. “Today, Florida has taken additional action to
protect our state from the effects of what is a full-fledged border
crisis.”

mitigate future risks.”

$4 Million to Callahan
for Industrial Park Job Growth
Governor

clean water supply plant at Crawford Diamond Industrial Park, an
1,800-acre industrial megasite served by two major rail lines and is
near multiple interstate highways and shipping ports.
This
infrastructure project will enable the site to support about 500 jobs
directly and 2,158 total jobs in high-wage, sustainable industries,
including manufacturing, with an economic impact of more than $25
million.
“I am happy
to support a project that will spur economic growth and create

Senator Rubio’s
Anti-Slavery Bill Kicked in This Week
Senator
Rubio continues to be one of the strongest voices against despots
around the world, particularly China. He led passage of a bill that
will block importation of goods from companies using slave labor in
China. He wrote about it this week at Real Clear Politics:
“Slavery has been illegal in the United
States for nearly 160 years. And yet, over the past two decades,
American businesses and consumers have once again begun to benefit
from the horrific practice.
“It’s an extremely uncomfortable truth, and
for most Americans, it likely comes as a surprise. Until recently,
they probably had no idea that the clothes they wear, the phones they
cannot put down, and the solar panels on their roofs were made, in
part, by slaves. The same cannot be said of the companies that eagerly
ship jobs overseas to China and source materials from concentration
camps.
“Thankfully, all of that is about to change.
Starting on June 21, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will block any
company seeking to import goods mined, produced, or manufactured,
either in whole or in part, by Uyghurs and other persecuted ethnic
groups – unless the company can provide conclusive evidence that no
forced labor was used at any point in the international supply chain.
It is a high burden of proof, but it is necessary given the lack of
transparency in China and America’s unwillingness to enforce a 1930
law prohibiting the importation of goods made by
slaves.
“The implementation of the Uyghur Forced
Labor Prevention Act, which I led with Sen. Merkley and Reps. McGovern
and Smith, will also be the most significant change in America’s
relationship with China since 2001, when the communist nation joined
the World Trade Organization.”

AG Moody's
Priority Legislation Combating Organized Retail Theft Signed by
Governor DeSantis
Attorney
General Ashley Moody thanked Governor DeSantis this week for signing
her priority legislation to help Florida prosecutors dismantle
organized retail theft rings. During the 2022 Florida Legislative
Session, Attorney General Moody worked with lawmakers to pass Senate
Bill 1534 to provide more tools to prosecute members of organized
retail theft rings.
“We
continue to be proactive in making sure organized retail theft rings
do not have a free pass to pillage retailers in Florida,” Attorney
General Moody said. “While prosecutors in other states may turn a
blind eye to these massive retail crimes, in Florida we enforce the
law to protect our citizens and visitors. This new law will help us
continue this important work and enhance public safety. I want to
thank Gov. DeSantis and state lawmakers who fought for this important
legislation to help us build a Stronger, Safer Florida.”

Patronis fights for legal
precedent for firefighters getting PTSD support
The Florida
Department of Financial Services, led by Florida CFO and State Fire
Marshal Jimmy Patronis, filed an Amicus Curiae Brief in support of
Brevard County firefighter Roger Williams and his battle for
job-induced PTSD benefits under Florida’s Workers’ Compensation laws.
“As
Florida’s State Fire Marshal, I have made it my top priority to
support our first responders,” said CFO Patronis. “This case is
especially important, as the 1st DCA has an opportunity to set a legal
precedent of support for our brave firefighters statewide. PTSD is a
serious challenge for many of our first responders, as they see and
deal with unthinkable things in the line of duty.”
In 2018,
CFO Patronis worked with the Florida Legislature to pass Senate Bill
376 to provide vital PTSD benefits for first responders to give them
the support they need as they protect Florida communities.
