Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday scoffed at Florida’s legislative leaders who said he was “premature” to call for a special session on immigration, then outlined an aggressive agenda that includes forcing local law enforcement to cooperate in federal deportation efforts,

Gov. Ron DeSantis is not backing down from his order to hold a special legislative session despite pushback from state GOP leaders who call it "premature" and "irresponsible."

DeSantis said the primary reason he wants Florida lawmakers in town for a Special Session is to approve legislation to empower President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. The poll found 85% support DeSantis’ Special Session call, with 72% strongly backing it.
