DeSantis Willing to Send Fla. State Guard to Texas Border

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday he is willing to send members of the Florida State Guard to Texas to assist with Gov. Greg Abbott's declared invasion of illegal immigrants from Mexico.

 

DeSantis, among 25 Republican governors who said Thursday they're backing Abbott's right under the Constitution to defend Texas' sovereignty, said the State Guard might be a better option than the Florida National Guard because it could not be federalized by President Joe Biden.

 

"We may do more National Guard, but we may be willing to do the Florida State Guard," DeSantis, who exited the GOP presidential primary race following the Jan. 14 Iowa caucuses, said during a news conference in Kissimmee, Florida. "The president would not be able to federalize the State Guard.

 

"If we need to stand up and ensure the sovereignty of the country, then we need to do that. So, they can count on me to help from the state of Florida."

 

Florida lawmakers are working on legislation to remove a requirement the Florida State Guard be used exclusively within the state. Nearly every state has laws authorizing State Guards, and 21 states and Puerto Rico have active units, according to the National Guard Magazine.

 

The Biden administration has been trying to undermine Texas' methods for deterring illegal immigrants from crossing into the state from Mexico. The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Customs and Border Patrol agents can cut down razor wire installed by the Texas National Guard along the Rio Grande River that separates the U.S. from Mexico.

 

Yet, Abbott is having more razor wire installed amid calls from Democrats for Biden to federalize the Texas National Guard.

 

"What's happening in Texas is not just a Texas issue. It's an American issue," DeSantis said. "We've had over 8 million people pour into this country illegally just in the last three years. You've got people from China. You've got people from Iran and other parts of the Middle East, North Africa, Russia. This is not just people coming from Mexico.

 

"Anyone that wants to do us harm will look at that border as the easiest, soft underbelly this country has right now. If the federal government is saying that it is not only not going to enforce the law but it's going to somehow prohibit a state from faithfully enforcing the law, that is not the way this Constitution was designed.

 

"The states being able to step up to ensure the sovereignty of their territory and the sovereignty of our country is something that's appropriate and something that the Founders envisioned if you had a derelict executive in the federal government."

Something to hide?

Ga. DA Willis Declines Rep. Jordan's Records Request

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fani-willis-jim-jordan-records/2024/01/26/id/1151160/

 

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis informed House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Friday that she will not turn over the records he sought from a special prosecutor working in her office, with whom she also allegedly had an affair, citing "confidentiality interests."

 

In a letter, Willis said Jordan's request to attorney Nathan Wade for records earlier this month violated "principles of separation of powers" and a "respect for the legal protections provided to attorney work."

 

Jordan sent a letter to Wade on Jan. 12 after a bombshell accusation made by co-defendant Michael Roman in the Georgia case Willis is prosecuting that she and Wade were having an affair, which should result in his case being dismissed.

 

Jordan and House Republicans became interested when invoices filed by Wade to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office (FCDAO) surfaced showing meetings with the White House that ostensibly involved the case against former President Donald Trump for election interference. Jordan sent the letter to inquire about the potential of "politically motivated investigations and the potential misuse of federal funds."

 

Wade "forwarded your letter to me as District Attorney for response," Willis wrote.

 

"Your letter is simply a restatement of demands that you have made in past correspondence for access to evidence in a pending Georgia criminal prosecution," Willis wrote in Friday's letter. "As I said previously, your requests implicate significant, well-recognized confidentiality interests related to an ongoing criminal matter. Your requests violate principles of separation of powers and federalism, as well as respect for the legal protections provided to attorney work product in ongoing litigation."

 

Jordan in his letter asked Wade for "all invoices, including credit card statements and individualized reimbursement requests, submitted by you or your law partners to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office relating to its investigation of President Trump," and "all contracts and financial arrangements between you and the Fulton County District Attorney's Office relating to its investigation of President Trump."

 

Wade, who has reportedly been paid at least $654,000 in legal fees by the FCDAO, reportedly purchased airline tickets for himself and Willis to travel together on trips to San Francisco, Miami, and the Caribbean, while they were investigating Trump.

 

Willis and Wade, among others, are likely to be subpoenaed for a Feb. 15 hearing over their relationship before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who will decide whether Willis should be removed from the case.

Also keep in mind, Florida is only willing to send Nation Guard, along with SC and Oklahoma which have already sent them out, not their state militias.
