The Governor of Florida Santis rum He faces convulsed times after the reverse he suffered in his plan against the illegal immigration. The political climate seems altered after the decision of the legislature, controlled by the Republicans. What happened? After the January 27 session, rejected by the Republican leaders, it was they who summoned a session on their own and there a bill was approved.
The governor of Florida did not remain silent and described this attitude as “crazy.” “This bill is made by a bill of application of the law, but Weakens Florida… I have never seen a more negative reaction of our base towards something that Florida’s legislature has done, ”he exclaimed. This anger of Desantis is related to its initiatives that were discarded, such as that the State provides flights from Florida to the countries of origin of illegal immigrants. This is an attribution that no state has since it is up to the federal government and federal agencies like ICE (Immigration and Customs Control Service of the United States).
In this context, the governor has promised to veto the legislation and described it as “weak” Because, according to his point of view, he interferes with the capacity of the State to be able to fully and effectively comply with immigration laws. “It takes away all the powers to the governor and the state agencies that currently fight against illegal immigration and transfers them to the Agriculture Commissioner. It also prohibits any participation with ICE unless you get the commissioner’s permission. This is not what the people of Florida want”
Disantis’s discharge
Desantis hinted at the week that the law could veto. Last Tuesday, in An interview with Dana LoeschThe governor said that his office did not participate in the realization of any change to the bill. And there he called it as “weak, weak, weak”, even with the new modifications.

His position against illegal immigration is not new. In 2022 it generated controversy by sending illegal immigrants from Florida to Martha’s Vineyard, an initiative that did not go unnoticed.
