Great to join Border Czar @RealTomHoman and former DHS Acting Secretary @ChadFWolf at New College of Florida today for a roundtable on illegal immigration. Florida has set the example for states in cooperating with the federal government to enforce our immigration laws, restore the rule of law, and help deliver on President Trump's mandate. Thanks to @SocraticStage at @NewCollegeofFL for organizing this timely discussion on one of the most important challenges our country is tackling today.

NEW: Tom Homan says during round table w/ FL @GovRonDeSantis & @ChadFWolf that there were only 41 recorded gotaways yesterday, and that tripling Biden ICE interior arrests isn't enough. Homan says it needs to be 10x because "Biden wasn't doing squat". "I'm happy, but I'm not satisfied," Homan says, adding that he won't sleep well at night until every criminal alien public safety threat is arrested.

On Ft. Myers City Council BLOCKING their police from immigration enforcement with ICE: "It's not a policy question at this point of whether they should be involved in it. Under our law, they MUST be involved in it, and that will happen one way or another." -@GovRonDeSantis

WATCH: @GovRonDeSantis, @RealTomHoman, and @ChadFWolf are discussing how Florida is aiding federal efforts to fight illegal immigration. Happening at @NewCollegeofFL.

"We don't [do] catch and release. We want detain and deport." -@GovRonDeSantis discussing illegal immigration enforcement at federal & state levels with @RealTomHoman
