Ron DeSantis: “Florida banned sanctuary cities in 2019.”

“When I first became governor, Florida allowed sanctuary cities, believe it or not. And I was like, no, we're not going to allow sanctuary cities. So we work with the legislature to ban Florida banned sanctuary cities in 2019. We also work to continue to add solid policy in that respect. But it really became difficult when Joe Biden took office at the beginning of 2021 because he had basically campaigned on not enforcing the border at all.” (00:55–01:02)
