The governor, who unsuccessfully challenged Trump for the Republican presidential nomination last year, said he spoke with Trump over the weekend. He also said the site obtained approval from the Department of Homeland Security .
"What'll happen is you bring bring people in there," DeSantis said during an unrelated press conference in Wildwood. "They ain't going anywhere once they're there, unless you want them to go somewhere, because good luck getting to civilization. So the security is amazing."
