Just months after President Donald Trump’s administration quietly moved to undercut a hardline immigration push by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the two Republican former rivals appeared side by side on Tuesday for the opening of a new migrant detention center in the Everglades.

President Donald Trump said this week that his previously tumultuous relationship with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has now bounced back to a 9.9 out of 10. The two men -- who engaged in a fierce primary battle during the 2024 election cycle -- were standing side by side Tuesday for the opening of a new detention center in the Everglades for illegal aliens.
