DeSantis Challenges Biden's Migrant Parole Program

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticizes the Biden administration's parole program for migrants, labeling it illegal and secretive.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to fight President Joe Biden's parole program, which he claims secretly flies illegal migrants into the U.S., particularly targeting Miami as a major destination.
DeSantis argues the program is illegal and unconstitutional, citing a recent incident where a migrant flown into the U.S. is charged with sexual assault, suggesting such incidents could be prevented by adherence to law.
The program, initially for Venezuelans and later expanded to include Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans, allows for a monthly intake of up to 30,000 migrants, offering them work permits and temporary residence.
Despite public data and announcements, DeSantis and his administration describe the program as secretive, due to a lack of coordination with state governments on migrant arrivals.
The governor's opposition is part of a broader legal challenge, with Florida joining a lawsuit against the parole program, which has been struck down but is currently under appeal.
