'Illegal and Not Constitutional': DeSantis Slams Biden For Flying Immigrants into Florida

POLK COUNTY, FL—Governor Ron DeSantis slammed President Joe Biden Wednesday morning for flying over 300,000 migrants into Florida, accusing the president of enacting secretive and illegal precedents.

The migrant flights are "illegal and not constitutional," DeSantis said at a Polk County press conference, where he announced $2.5 billion in highway overhauls. "They don't tell us anytime somebody comes in...It may be the case [Biden] is bringing people in under this illegal parole program, and then they're migrating to sanctuary jurisdictions,"

"We're suing over [Biden's parole program]," he added.

Biden's parole program was already challenged in court by a series of Republican-led states but was ultimately upheld by a judge last month. The program has been in effect since January 2023, allowing up to 30,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the country monthly.

Authorities arrested an illegal immigrant in Ohio who was previously deported seven times after being charged with aggravated murder. 

46-year-old Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez was taken into custody after a body was found in an alleyway in the small town of Hamilton, Ohio. 

Customs and Border Protection revealed that the illegal immigrant was not only deported seven times from the United States but he has also been jailed 11 times— with his first arrest dating back to 2001. 

Garcia-Gutierrez was also charged with using weapons while intoxicated, carrying concealed weapons, possession of drugs, and obstructing official business.

Last month, the illegal alien was arrested on charges not related to the murder. 

“I can tell you this, that person would be alive today and if you don’t think that it’s affecting you in Butler County, Ohio, we’re all border states; we’re all border counties. It’s here and we could go on and on,” Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said.  See X and video here.
