Overview
Florida legislators have reached a compromise on immigration policy after a struggle between Governor Ron DeSantis and Republican leaders, reshaping control and authority over immigration enforcement. The new legislation focuses on enhanced penalties for undocumented immigrants, creating a state Board of Immigration Enforcement, and significant funding for enforcement measures. Although the bill retains many of DeSantis' original proposals, it also reflects concessions made to appease legislative leaders, ultimately aiming to align Florida laws with the Trump administration's immigration agenda. This political conflict indicates a shift in power dynamics within the state GOP.
