Florida lawmakers defied DeSantis and approved their own version of sweeping immigration reforms amid a GOP power struggle.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) chided state lawmakers over a bill it passed with the intent to combat illegal immigration, spotlighting several issues with the “grotesque” bill that he had with the legislature and its purpose.

Governor Ron DeSantis held a roundtable in West Palm Beach as part of a series of discussions with local law enforcement as he seeks to introduce his own contentious immigration laws in the face of opposition from the Legislature.
