Within two days of announcing Florida would arrange transportation for Americans stranded in Israel and bring them to Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis welcomed home nearly 300 Sunday night.
We’re happy to be able to deliver and ready to welcome them back to the United States of America.”
Florida partnered with Project Dynamo to bring nearly 300 Americans home from Israel, including more than 270 to Tampa and seven to Orlando on 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.
The support we are receiving from Governor DeSantis, the First Lady, FDEM Executive Director Kevin Guthrie, Florida Commerce Secretary Alex Kelly, FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass and his entire administration and the state is overwhelming. We are very grateful for the special flights and supplies.”

There are roughly 20,000 Americans, including many Floridians, who are stranded in Israel, according to some reports.
The U.S. State Department encouraged stranded Americans to book commercial flights while also recognizing that these flights were being canceled "due to mortar and rocket fire that may take place without warning."
It also encouraged Americans to arrange and pay for their own lodging. Any transportation out of Israel the federal government might be able to provide requires Americans to sign a promissory note prior to departure, according to a partial State Department emails posted on social media.
By contrast, the Florida government is providing free transportation to stranded Americans wanting to come home.

Of course, demented DeSantis-haters like 'wildcard_redneck' still see a Deep State operation no matter what good is being done. Sucks to be him.
Exactly my thoughts as well. DeSantis is an outstanding governor. I wish he had just stayed working as governor, supported Trump’s policies, even if not Trump himself as a person, and waited in the background in case something happened to Trump before 2024 election. Instead, I believe DeSantis has exposed himself as a poor national campaigner and beholden to deep state.
How dare you.
Fortunately, Florida has the leadership and fortitude to bring home her citizens from a war zone.
Translation please
Please attempt to convince me how the GOP, as it is currently led, has improved America since Reagan?
You cannot so stuff it.
Governor DeSantis gets the job done.
Joe, DeSantis and his big $ masters can KMA. I will never vote for the meat puppet.
You think you know the man. You don’t. Stop acting like you do.
Why didn’t he help the J6 prisoners? Most of them are from Florida.
Glad someone stepped.

give credit when credit is due............................
If you are calling Chip Roy, Tom Massey, and DeSantis RINOS and globalists then you failed an IQ test. You really are no better than any leftist constantly shouting down anything they don't like as being racist
And you do? DeSantis has all of the wrong friends, while President Trump has all of the right enemies.
He actually executes a plan and delivers.
I guess you have forgotten about Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, John McCain (remember how he single-handedly saved Obamacare?), Mittens Romney, etc.? Remember how in 2016 Republicans captured the entire federal government - both house of Congress annd the Presidency - and yet the Democrats were able to impeach him twice and the DOJ started investigating him? Do you member those little tricks? You DeSantis folks have the memories of special need mental patients.
Since only 202 of the 270 on the flight were considered floridians, there must not be that many people from Florida unable to leave Israel.
How much of his PAC money funded by all the MAGA grannies has he spent on the J6 prisoners?
Trump encouraged them and then ditched them.
But he still managed to give Fauvi a commendation on his last day in office.
