DeSantis pushes Florida lawmakers to take action on illegal immigration, warns of consequences for defiance

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged state lawmakers to act quickly on illegal immigration, warning of political consequences if they delay.

He is pushing for new laws to align with federal policies under President Trump, including compliance with immigration orders and penalties for violating Florida’s “anti-sanctuary” policies.

However, GOP leaders have expressed concerns, calling the session premature due to a lack of detailed proposals.

DeSantis vowed to use his constitutional authority to push the legislature into action, emphasizing the urgency of addressing immigration issues immediately, Fox News has reported.

He also called for additional hurricane aid and other legislative measures.
