Controversial migrant flights official to lead Florida immigration enforcement

Larry Keefe, a former U.S. attorney and Gov. Ron DeSantis' public safety “czar,” will serve as executive director of Florida's new State Board of Immigration Enforcement. Polk Sheriff Grady Judd will serve on a new immigration enforcement council.

Migrants, who arrived on a flight sent by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, gather with their belongings outside St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard. The DeSantis administration contracted with Vertol Systems Company, Inc. to transport two planeloads of migrants on Sept. 14, 2022, from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha's Vineyard, with a stop in the Northwest Florida community of Crestview.
