Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has promised to veto a sweeping immigration bill. It’s the latest escalation in a statehouse showdown between DeSantis’ office and the Republican leaders, who have sparred over whose proposals would best carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The morning after the measure was passed, DeSantis pledged to veto the bill, which he criticized as “weak” and watered-down.”Florida lawmakers pass sweeping immigration bill to help with Trump crackdown In hours of emotional debate, Democrats pressed the bill sponsors on a provision that would strip Florida students of in-state tuition if they’re in the country illegally, but some said they would vote for the overarching bill if the tuition issue was amended.
For hours on Tuesday, legislators deliberated on the 80-plus page bill that included more than $500 million in funding to hire new officers, equip and train local agencies, and reimburse counties for leasing detention space to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Republican Rep. Mike Caruso, whose Palm Beach County district includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, called the bill weak and said it would not curb people from immigrating illegally into the country.
