DeSantis also lauded Trump’s deployment of 1,500 troops to the southern border, calling it a “great start” from the administration in correcting four years of non-enforcement by the Democratic White House, and predicting “the problem is going to be put to bed once and for all.”

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' call for a special legislative session on illegal immigration, despite legislative leadership calling it "premature" and "completely irresponsible." "Thank you Ron, hopefully other Governors will follow!" Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
