Florida Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins personally traveled to California to apprehend and escort back a criminal described as an illegal alien accused of killing. This action has drawn attention for its rarity in modern U.S. political history, as it is uncommon for sitting governors or lieutenant governors to directly engage in such law enforcement activities. Collins was praised by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and supporters for his hands-on leadership and boldness in handling the situation. The incident has sparked discussions about political figures Byron and Erika Donalds, who have been noted for their media presence but did not publicly commend Collins for his actions. Some critics accused Collins of staging aspects of the arrest, but supporters emphasized the courage and decisiveness of his intervention.
