DeSantis Calls Special Legislative Session to Enforce Trump’s Immigration Policies, May Suspend Officials, Starting January 27
Jan 13, 2025, 02:38 PM
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced a special session of the legislature aimed at facilitating the Trump administration's immigration policies. This session will require local governments across the state to assist in enforcing deportations, as outlined by DeSantis, who emphasized the need for legislation to impose additional duties and provide funding for local officials. He stated, "We have a responsibility to be in this fight," and indicated that state and local officials must collaborate with the Trump administration to enforce immigration laws. The special session is scheduled to begin on January 27, 2025, and will also address other issues such as agricultural relief and ballot initiative reform. DeSantis has warned that he may suspend public officials who refuse to comply with the enforcement of deportations, specifically mentioning sheriffs in Broward and Palm Beach counties who have publicly stated they will not participate in these efforts.
