White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticized as a “political stunt” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ activation of the Florida National Guard in response to an increase in Cuban and Haitian migrants arriving in the Florida Keys. Asked Wednesday about a DeSantis executive order blaming the Biden administration for an “alarming influx of migrants,” Jean-Pierre said DeSantis is “creating a problem” and “making a mockery of a problem the president is trying to fix.”
