Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is sending Florida National Guard and State Guard members to Texas to assist with placing razor wire along the southern border. His support for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s move to block migration from Mexico comes after the US Supreme Court ruled last week that the federal government had the power to remove razor wire and other barriers the Texas government erected. Host Carol Hills speaks with Adam Isacson of the Washington Office on Latin America about the growing standoff between states and the federal government over who controls the US border with Mexico.
