We’re zooming into the 2024 race with the same bad crime data analysis - The Washington Post
DeSantis wasn't talking about homicides, of course. He was talking about "major crime," a category for which the Jacksonville sheriff's department doesn't release public data.

When they arrived, they were placed three to a room, from differing tribes, so they would be forced to speak English as a common language.
