Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is making sure that his state is prepared to enforce President Donald Trump’s America First agenda on day one of the new administration.
DeSantis has called for a special session of the legislature to require local governments across the state to enforce President Trump’s deportation plans.
During remarks to the press, DeSantis stated, “We have a responsibility to be in this fight. State and local officials in Florida MUST HELP the Trump administration enforce our nation’s immigration law.”
“We are going to need legislation to impose additional duties and provide funding for those local officials.”
“There also needs to be measures to hold people accountable who are violating our anti-sanctuary policies.”
“And Florida needs to make sure that we do not have any lingering incentives for people to come into our state illegally
“So therefore, I’m going to call the legislature into special session starting Jan. 27. We have the next president taking office January 20th and we anticipate executive orders to be issued immediately.”
“We need to act, and we need to act quickly. The American people spoke very clearly.”
