Ron DeSantis: Companies Helping Biden Release Border Crossers into Florida Will Be Denied State Contracts

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) says he will deny state contracts to companies aiding President Joe Biden’s administration with its expansive Catch and Release operation that is releasing hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States interior.

 

Last week, DeSantis slammed Biden for resettling a 24-year-old illegal alien β€” who had successfully duped the administration, posing as an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) β€” in Jacksonville, Florida, who went on to allegedly murder a 46-year-old father of four.

 

During an interview with Tucker Carlson, DeSantis said the murder would have never occurred had the Biden administration not flown the illegal alien to Florida 0n secretive flights, facilitated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and private contractors.

 

β€œSo these are flights that are coming in two or three in the morning,” DeSantis said:

 

The feds, of course, control the air space and they’re there on the ground, they take these folks and then they send them to other parts of Florida by bus or other parts of the southeast and that individual who was murdered was in fact murdered by an illegal alien who was on one of Biden’s flights, these midnight flights unannounced, no notice, no support for the state, no ability for us to veto it ahead of time. And if Biden had not been doing that, if he’d been doing his job, that individual would be alive today. [Emphasis added]

 

In response, DeSantis said he will deny state contracts to private contractors, which often include bus companies and airlines, who are helping the Biden administration mass release border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.

 

β€œI think that they use these private contractors so what we’re looking at is how can we fight back against the contractors,” DeSantis said:

 

We can obviously deny them state contracts which we will do. Can we deny them access to Florida’s market generally? Can we tax them? Can we do things to provide disincentives so they can’t do it? So we’re going to do whatever we can to do it. Unfortunately, they do have the ability to get into these airports because the F.A.A. controls it and the feds really have jurisdiction over it, so we’re trying to work with the local airport authority to see if there’s a way that we can get around that. But we are going to go after some of these contractors because they are bringing in people. They are causing burdens on us and as we see, tragically, cause someone to lose their life. [Emphasis added]

 

Unofficial totals reveal that Biden has released anywhere from half a million to nearly a million border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior since taking office.

Kyle Rittenhouse looks like he’s headed for an acquittal, legal analyst says

 

On Monday, the prosecution’s case against an Illinois teen, 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, collapsed with a confounding unforced error. Watching the trial unfold, I now believe that a key witness’s calm, revelatory description of events, ensured Rittenhouse’s acquittal on five of the six charges in the controversial case.

 

The Kenosha saga began with the police shooting of knife-wielding Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 23, 2020. Following three days of fiery protests and property destruction, Rittenhouse, then a 17-year-old minor, traveled across state lines, armed with a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle provided by a friend.

 

Rittenhouse, a former police cadet from Antioch, Illinois, had publicly stated that his mission was to protect businesses and potential victims of the mayhem. In the ensuing melee, he shot and killed two people and wounded a third. The state of Wisconsin alleges he is a murderer. His defenders describe his actions as self-defense.

 

He faces six charges: five felonies and one misdemeanor. The most serious is first degree intentional homicide, use of a deadly weapon. With video footage from the scene and witness accounts, this remains an impossible charge to prove. The allegation β€” analogous to first-degree murder in certain states β€” requires prosecutors to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Rittenhouse intended to kill a person, Anthony M. Huber, without attendant mitigating circumstances such as self-defense. Videos shot by bystanders show Rittenhouse being chased and threatened throughout the incident.

Kyle Rittenhouse may be heading towards an acquittal in five of the six charges against him at this trial.

Rittenhouse clearly shoots his first victim, Joseph Rosenbaum, according to journalist Richie McGinniss, who witnessed the altercation. But he described Rittenhouse as wheeling around and firing, as Rosenbaum lunged for Rittenhouse’s rifle.

 

Gaige Grosskreutz was the man who was wounded, and whose testimony spectacularly backfired for the prosecution on Monday. During a skillful cross-examination, Rittenhouse’s attorney, Corey Chirafisi, impelled Grosskreutz to concede that the accused only fired after Grosskreutz pointed his pistol at him while advancing and attempting to disarm him.

 

The image of Rittenhouse holding a rifle on the streets of Kenosha was a source of outrage, particularly on the left. The prosecution may have been pressured to charge intentional homicide by activists and the very real fears of more deadly riots if state prosecutors failed to bend to their will. This doesn’t mean they have a case.

Rittenhouse, interviewed just prior to the shootings he is charged with, stated his intentions: β€œOur job is to protect this business, and part of my job is to also help people.”

 

Was he misguided in transporting a weapon across state lines? Undoubtedly.

 

But was Rittenhouse also representative of a vast swath of the American public sickened and angered by the media’s attempted portrayal of riots as β€œmostly peaceful protests?” Recall the time we were asked to disbelieve our lying eyes.

 

Kyle Rittenhouse never set out to murder innocent people on that fateful night. It is reasonable to conclude he was there, as he suggests, to help protect a business that had been looted, vandalized and firebombed by criminals masquerading as protestors. In many jurisdictions during the civil unrest prevalent during the Summer of 2020, police were β€œstood down” β€” directed to back off and allow the anger to work itself off.

When cowardly politicians create vacuous policies that lead to a security void, some citizens just might be inclined to step up and fill the void to protect people and property. Again, this doesn’t make Rittenhouse’s actions leading up to the shootings righteous. But it may help one to better understand the mood of a fed-up nation. Simply put β€” the toleration of lawlessness always encourages more lawlessness.

 

This prosecution is neither neutral nor dispassionate; reflecting only political expedience. These court proceedings also highlight an overplayed hand. Kyle Rittenhouse may indeed be guilty of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, the misdemeanor. He was, after all, a minor at the time. But he clearly and unequivocally acted in self-defense. Anything other than an acquittal on the top charges would be a miscarriage of justice.
