A surging flow of firearms transported illegally from South Florida to Haiti is fueling gang violence, atrocities and a breakdown of order in the impoverished Caribbean nation.

Last year, Homeland Security Investigations announced efforts to combat gun trafficking in Florida….

Previous Chair of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, U.S. Representative Kathy Castor, slammed DeSantis’ veto for putting hundreds of millions in federal funding out of reach for Floridians. Castor sent a letter to DeSantis after he vetoed programs…
