Ron DeSantis lays out plan to ‘engage’ Mexican cartel ‘terrorist organizations’ as Casey dings Haley

Prior to a Mamas for DeSantis event in Iowa, Florida first family Ron and Casey DeSantis joined Fox News for a joint interview, with the governor doubling down on his plans to institute a militaristic response plan to blunt cartel smuggling, and the first lady responding to Nikki Haley's debate spat with her husband.
 

"I am going to declare [the border] a national emergency," DeSantis told "The Story" on Friday.

"I'm not going to send troops to Ukraine, but I am going to send them to our southern border when these drug pushers are bringing fentanyl across… That's going to be the last thing they do," he said, reiterating how those who violently disobey the law will end up "stone-cold dead."
