DeSantis continued to decry the legislature’s efforts as weaker than his own plan, which was rejected yesterday.

Republicans in Tallahassee rejected a DeSantis proposal, instead coming up with their own immigration plan to match President Donald Trump’s orders.

This was the first time the Republican-controlled legislature denied a Republican governor a special session since the GOP took control in the 1990s.

Florida lawmakers are in Tallahassee on Monday for a special session called by Gov. Ron DeSantis to address illegal immigration.

Even as DeSantis called the new bill "weaker," legislative Republicans pushed their legislation through the committee process Monday.

The Florida Legislature rejected some of Gov. Ron DeSantis' proposals for an immigration bill and, in the name of Donald Trump, introduced its own.

President Donald Trump’s push to quickly overhaul the nation’s immigration system is at the center of a civil war between Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans.

Lawmakers are considering stripping DeSantis of his immigration enforcement powers, which the governor used to fly migrants to Martha’s Vineyard three years ago.

In another blow to the governor, legislators also voted to override some of DeSantis' budget vetoes from last year, a move that hasn't happened since then-Gov. Charlie Crist.

DeSantis has excelled at growing his enemies list due to his superfluous pursuit of political battles. However, for those he sought to sideline — such as Susie Wiles and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson — his tactics have only fueled their rise.

It’s a staggering turn of events for a governor used to getting his own way — and a test of his national staying power as he stares down the end of his term in two years.
