Gov. Ron DeSantis was flying high with a presidential hopes. But this week's special session has revealed fissures between him and a previously pliant Legislature.

Despite its seemingly hardline stance, DeSantis dismissed the bill as insufficient, accusing legislators of moving to the left on immigration

Monday’s battle over the immigration issues was a stark departure from the GOP’s unity that’s been the hallmark of DeSantis’ relationship with the Legislature over the past six years

“Believe it or not, in the state of Florida, we’re mobilizing snowplows,” DeSantis said. Other vehicles will de-ice roads and crews are taking preventable measures to keep movable bridges from freezing.

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

Voters' ability to advance future changes opposed or disregarded by state lawmakers could soon be eliminated — if Gov. Ron DeSantis gets his way.

"Just like all the immigration bills we passed, it isn't a silver bullet, but we're moving the ball forward, and we have to support the president."

They think if they put Trump's name on it, that somehow that's going to pull the wool over people's eyes,' DeSantis said over bill.

The Tackling and Reforming Unlawful Migration Policy Act, also known as the TRUMP Act, passed Tuesday night in a special session called by DeSantis. The Republican governor called the immigration bill "weak" when he announced his intention to veto the legislation.

The case drew attention amid a nationwide focus on the apprehension and deportation of undocumented immigrants.

The veto pledge capped a dramatic few days in which Republican legislators publicly criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis and portrayed themselves as truer allies of President Trump.
