DHS Sec. Mayorkas tells @JonKarl he thinks Florida judge’s ruling blocking the release of some migrants due to overcrowding is “very harmful.” — ABC News Politics May 14, 2023 District Judge Kent Wetherell II determined that a challenge from Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody against the policy would likely succeed.
