Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is touting the success of his “first-of-its-kind” immigration enforcement effort called "Operation Tidal Wave."

“This is the largest operation of its kind in the nation, and we did it here in Florida because I insisted state and local law enforcement agencies provide cooperation and support for immigration enforcement efforts,” Gov. DeSantis wrote in a X.com social media post Friday.

“In just one week, Florida's state agencies helped federal authorities to arrest 1,100+ illegal aliens across the state,” DeSantis added, introducing a list of Operation Tidal Wave’s initiatives.

On Friday, Gov. DeSantis discussed the operation – as well as the fake news attacking it – in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Martha MacCallum.
