If we are going to be successful at reducing the attacks on American citizens by violent extremists, Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities must improve: (1) Access to information, (2) the sharing of actionable intelligence information that can be used to identify and arrest subjects involved in plotting attacks before an attack occurs, and (3) funding for counterterrorism efforts to include training and equipment.
Demings emphasizes the need for improved intelligence sharing and funding for counterterrorism.

Even if we are not empowered, and we are not asking to be empowered, to be in charge of deportation, we should be empowered with information.
We have to look at some of our gun laws and make a determination of what we stand for and just how prevalent some of these 'assault rifles' are available today.
Our residents, all Florida residents should be outraged. And they should ask the question now, where's our state? Where's our governor? Where is Ron DeSantis now?
