Republican Governor Helps Get 270 Americans Airlifted Out of Israel​

After signing an executive order last week requiring his state’s Division of Emergency Management to assist Florida residents in Israel to return home, Gov. Ron DeSantis was on hand to welcome 270 of them home Sunday evening.​

​

The 2024 presidential hopeful was at Tampa International Airport with his wife and three children when the plane carrying 270 evacuees, 91 of them children, landing Sunday.​

​

“I am proud of how quickly we have been able to activate resources and do what the federal government could not — get Floridians and other Americans back home, reunited with their families, free of charge,” DeSantis said in a statement cited by National Review.​

If the federal government evacuates Americans from another country, the evacuees are required by law to repay the transportation costs. But this isn’t a new requirement under President Biden’s administration and it has been waived in certain circumstances before.

So it's not yet clear whether Florida has done anything the federal government has not.

What has the federal government done? Looks much like the same failure to act that we observed in Afghanistan Biden once again abandons American citizens .

The first US-federal chartered flight out of Israel was 4 days ago.
