DeSantis calls out Florida legislature for ‘defacto sanctuary state’ bill

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) slammed the single bill the Florida legislature took up out of session, claiming it sets up Florida to become a “defacto sanctuary state.”

DeSantis called the Florida legislature to meet in a special session to begin supporting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. However, the legislature opted to take up one immigration-related bill instead of the governor’s other recommendations. According to DeSantis, it turns Florida, which has no sanctuary cities, into a state that protects illegal immigrants under the state’s Department of Agriculture.
