Feds launch investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis

Last month, Governor Ron DeSantis sent 48 illegal immigrants via private planes to the elitist hotspot, Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, a go-to destination for liberal vacationers and the home of former President Barack Obama.

DeSantis’ controversial move drew attention to the political establishment’s unwillingness to take action to stop illegal immigration. If the political establishment refuses to detract its open invitation into the country, it shouldn’t be at the expense of states that oppose illegal immigration in the first place, DeSantis argued. “Had they [the political elites in Martha’s Vineyard] lived up to… what they bill themselves out as a sanctuary jurisdiction, they could have absorbed those people without a problem.”

Now, the federal government has announced it has launched an investigation into Florida’s governor, who currently seeks re-election. The Treasury Department will be looking into the incident, as some allege it was a misuse of state funds to pay to relocate the immigrant to Massachusetts.

According to a press release published earlier this week, “Senator Edward J. Markey… [requested] an investigation into the State of Florida’s use of federal COVID-19 aid to fund flights for migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts and other destinations. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took credit for the cruel stunt, paid for with interest earned on COVID-19 relief from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF), created under the American Rescue Plan Act.” The press release goes on to indicate that the Treasury Department swiftly agreed to take up the investigation.

Under Joe Biden, the federal government has become a political, pseudo-authoritarian weapon utilized against the president’s enemies. Regardless of political party, we should all be concerned by a national government that enables a sitting president to investigate two of his most likely challengers (an FBI raid on President Trump and now a federal investigation into Ron DeSantis).

If we hope to save our liberty from the greedy hands of an oppressive government, the time to act is now. Through an Article V Convention of States, We the People can take back power from Washington by limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, imposing fiscal restraints, and placing term limits on federal officials.
