Drug pushers who illegally cross into the United States might end up facing strict rules of engagement and penalties if Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis wins the 2024 election, he told Fox News on Wednesday.
DeSantis doubled down on his plan to apply "deadly force" in certain situations, a contrast to what he and other Republicans have described as an unfettered, open border under the auspices of President Biden and his Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas.
The governor was asked about his definition of "hostile intent," a phrase he used during recent remarks, and he replied that "all options are on the table to defend the American people."
