GOV. DESANTIS ACTIVATES FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD TO SUPPORT MIGRANT INFLUX

Makeshift vessels, like the one seen here on Islamorada’s Sea Oats Beach in late May 2022, have littered the Florida Keys throughout the first weeks of 2023 as authorities attempt to cope with an unprecedented influx of Cuban and Haitian migrants. TIFFANY DUONG/Keys Weekly

On Jan. 6, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Executive Order 23-03, activating the Florida National Guard, directing state law enforcement and other agencies to provide resources in support of local governments responding to the influx of migrants landing in the Florida Keys, and providing additional support toward efforts to prevent further migrant landings on Florida’s shores.

Blaming the administration of President Biden for the problem, Desantis said, “I am activating the National Guard and directing state resources to help alleviate the strain on local resources. When Biden continues to ignore his legal responsibilities, we will step in to support our communities.”

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, which has 194 deputies, has been dedicating the resources to manage the movement of hundreds of migrants while also ensuring adequate public safety.
