Trump and DeSantis just launched their ninth coordinated immigration enforcement operation in Florida — with DeSantis confirming that cooperation between state and federal officials has now led to the removal of over 10,400 illegal migrants from Florida alone since October.

The partnership between the two men — who spent most of 2023 trying to destroy each other politically — has been quietly rebuilt behind the scenes and is now described by White House sources as stronger than it has ever been. DeSantis is already testing a 2028 presidential pitch that leans heavily on his record of conservative wins — and when asked if he would run again he gave two words that have every Republican in America paying very close attention — “We’ll see.” Two men who once tried to end each other’s careers are now running the most aggressive state-federal immigration partnership in American history. Washington has a long memory — but apparently a short one too.
