SOCRATIC STAGE hosts a long-form panel at New College of Florida on what’s next for U.S. immigration policy featuring Governor Ron DeSantis, Border Czar Tom Homan, and former Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf. Moderated by President Richard Corcoran, the discussion focuses on the current border crisis, use of executive authority, the Alien Enemies Act, national security threats, and the role of Congress and the courts. Homan defends President Trump’s use of emergency and immigration powers to target criminal cartels and Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, arguing aggressive enforcement and deportations are necessary to save American lives. DeSantis criticizes “rogue” district judges and a passive Congress, calling for codifying Trump-era border measures into federal law and limiting nationwide injunctions. Wolf stresses that many of the tools Trump is using now were available but unused under Biden and urges Republicans to transform these executive actions into durable legislation. The panel also outlines Florida’s state-level actions, including banning sanctuary cities, expanding E-Verify, deputizing local law enforcement under 287(g), and coordinating with federal agencies on interdictions at sea and in the interior. Throughout, speakers frame strict border enforcement as essential to public safety, reducing cartel profits, and restoring constitutional balance between the branches of government.
