Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., would be sending a plane full of illegal immigrants to a local airport in Georgetown, Delaware, near the residence of President Joe Biden, reporters and self-proclaimed journalists flocked to the location of the supposed drop-off on Tuesday, waiting with bated breath for an event they could spin to fit their anti-GOP agenda. The only problem for the press, however, was that the plane in question wasn\u2019t carrying migrants and didn\u2019t even land in Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by left-wing NBC News, \u201cby late Tuesday, no plane had arrived [in Delaware]\u201d and instead \u201clanded in Teterboro, New Jersey,\u201d with no migrants \u201caboard the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier in the day, DeSantis stoked the coals of speculation by declining to confirm or deny whether the plane would even take off \u2014<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>his administration later refused to say if the plane that landed in New Jersey was part of his program to relocate migrants<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>an intentional effort to keep the issue alive,\u201d the NBC report claimed, citing an unnamed, anonymous source as evidence of its assertions.<\/p>\n<p>The media\u2019s rush to Georgetown\u2019s airport for the nonexistent drop-off came after DeSantis transported a plane of 50 illegal immigrants to Martha\u2019s Vineyard last week.

There were two arrests in FY17, six in FY18, zero in FY 19, three in FY20 and 15 in FY21.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 2 million migrants have been apprehended at the southern border in fiscal year 2022 alone.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of individuals with ties to terrorist activities and groups may very well be higher than currently known, given that an estimated 900,000 \u201cgotaways\u201d have evaded CBP capture since the beginning of FY21, according to Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin citing multiple CBP sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are seen on cameras, sensors, &amp; recorded, but no manpower to get to,\u201d Melugin said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A reminder, multiple CBP sources tell us there have been more than 900,000 known gotaways who have evaded capture at the border since the beginning of FY\u201921, including well over 500,000 so far in FY\u201922.
