Description
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis held a press conference at the Florida Capitol Monday in which he announced a special legislative session to tackle three key items: Supporting President-Elect Donald Trump's incoming deportation program, hurricane relief and concerns regarding the citizen ballot initiative.
DeSantis emphasized that with Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, the United States will experience a “sea change” in immigration policies, particularly with regards to illegal immigration. DeSantis vowed that Florida would be supporting incoming federal efforts in this regard.
"Today, I called for a special session of the Florida legislature the week of January 27 to prepare Florida to lead on the Trump Administration’s deportation program," the governor said on social media. "We will allocate resources and ensure state and local officials in Florida are supporting these efforts. We have no time to waste. Florida must lead."
