In just 23 days, more than 50 Florida state law enforcement have helped apprehend more than 2,800 illegal aliens and assisted with more than 100 criminal arrests for felonies ranging from human smuggling to drug trafficking.
My administration & FLDEPNews have committed more than $2 million to respond to red tide in Tampa Bay. Cleanup efforts are underway & MyFWC has enhanced monitoring efforts year-over-year by 165%.
We will continue to work with local governments to provide assistance and identify ways to mitigate red tide.

If allowed to continue by Biden, this mass migration will be a major strain on our social services, education, medical system, and taxpayers.
Foreign nationals are illegally pouring across our southern border in record numbers. I'm proud of our Florida law enforcement officers who are working with their Texas brethren to help – especially in light of the federal government's inaction. https://twitter.com/billfoxla/status/1417146725907709952

NEW: Getting a bit hectic here in Del Rio. Massive group of 300+ migrants wants to be let into the US. Some migrant families being let through, but adult men try to force their way through the gate. BP and troopers have to yell at them to get back. @FoxNews
Small businesses like Grumpy’s in Middleburg, Johnson’s Bakery in Perry, and Bee Wild Raw Honey in Bristol depend on safe and secure infrastructure. My administration is committed to helping small businesses in rural communities across the state thrive.
While the damage can’t be undone, the more than $1.3 billion settlement Florida will receive will help us continue to combat the devastating effects of the nationwide opioid crisis. https://bit.ly/3znVsZy
I appreciate @ AGAshleyMoody for championing efforts to address the destruction caused by opioids in Florida.
