DeSantis Prepares Florida to Align with Trump’s Immigration Policies

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calls special legislative session to enact measures supporting President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has scheduled a special legislative session for the week of January 27 to align state policies with President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated immigration executive orders.
DeSantis aims to expand participation in the federal 287(g) program, making it mandatory for local law enforcement to assist in federal immigration enforcement.
The proposed legislation seeks to eliminate in-state tuition for undocumented students and strengthen penalties for local officials who fail to comply with immigration laws.
DeSantis has coordinated with Trump’s transition team, signaling Florida’s readiness to implement stricter immigration measures immediately after the president-elect’s inauguration on January 20.
The governor emphasized the need to remove incentives for undocumented immigration to Florida, citing public safety and economic concerns.
