Ron DeSantis vows to deport 'everyone that has come illegally under Biden'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in his strongest and clearest language to date, is pledging to deport migrants who entered the United States illegally during President Biden's administration

Asked about deportations as he took questions from reporters following a campaign event in Long Beach, California, DeSantis reiterated that if elected to the White House, "that's going to be the first priority. That's probably six or seven million people right there. It's going to require a lot of effort. It's going to require us to lean in."

Illegal immigration and border security have long been top of mind for Republican voters, and GOP leaders for two and a half years have heavily criticized President Biden's administration over the surge in border crossings by migrants.
