Ron DeSantis activates the Florida National Guard – Telemundo Miami (51)

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis activated the Florida National Guard “in response to possible protests” on Inauguration Day on Friday.

DeSantis’ emergency order is effective immediately and will remain in effect until January 24, “or the time assistance to state and local government authorities is completed.”

“I direct the Florida National Guard to coordinate and support the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in its efforts to support state and local law enforcement on security missions and assignments necessary to keep the peace,” says the order.

The attack on the United States Capitol and threats of further violence have prompted law enforcement agencies in DC and across the country to take steps to ensure the safety of federal buildings ahead of President-elect Joe’s inauguration. Biden.
