In response to Ron DeSantis’s immigration rollout, DNC spokesperson Ammar Moussa released the following statement:

“Ron DeSantis has repeatedly used young children and families as pawns in his shallow political stunts to pander to the MAGA base. This latest plan is more of the same – political gimmicks that are merely an echo of the same cruel and callous policies of the Trump administration that broke our immigration system. DeSantis’s hollow talking points won’t distract voters from the fact that his desperate MAGA candidacy is more concerned with appeasing the right-wing fringes than actually solving problems for the American people.”
