Overview
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to veto an immigration bill backed by state Republican legislators that he deems inadequate. The legislation, known as the TRUMP Act, was intended to strengthen immigration enforcement but shifted authority to the Agriculture Commissioner, a move DeSantis opposes. The conflict marks a significant political rift between the governor and the legislature, raising questions about bipartisan support and future immigration measures in the state. Democratic leaders criticized provisions of the bill, including stripping in-state tuition for certain undocumented students. The situation remains fluid as legislators assess potential veto overrides.
