Quote:Early last summer, complaining that Washington had failed to provide adequate staffing for Florida’s National Guard, Gov.

Quote:The governor’s office said one of the Guard’s missions would be “to ensure Florida remains fully fortified to respond to not only natural disasters, but also to protect its people and borders from illegal aliens and civil unrest.”https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/15/us/fl...antis.html
