DeSantis said his office was not involved in discussions about the bill that passed Tuesday, which he called “weak, weak, weak.”

Sen. Jason Pizzo, D-Miami, noted Tuesday that DeSantis didn’t hold accountable a state road contractor after one of its employees, a Honduran immigrant in the country illegally, killed Pinellas Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Hartwick at a construction site.

A push by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to crack down on ballot initiatives could have unforeseen consequences for the business interests of his state’s most prominent resident: President Donald Trump.

Floridians deserve leadership that addresses the real issues facing working families and seniors, not the parade of political stunts he seems intent on marching in.’

The decision to fly flags at full-staff during Trump's inauguration diverges from President Joe Biden's order that flags remain at half-staff for 30 days to honor Carter, who passed away on December 29, 2024. DeSantis' move aligns with at least seven other Republican-led states who have ordered flags be flown at full-staff for Inauguration Day.

The Florida Legislature still must send the bill to him before he acts. Here’s what to watch for in the coming days.

Florida lawmakers have passed a sweeping immigration bill, setting aside half a billion dollars in public funds to help carry out President Donald Trump’s crackdown on people in the country illegally.

Creating crimes for "aiding" undocumented immigrants, making university more expensive, forcing police departments to be trained by ICE are among Gov. Ron DeSantis' priorities, as outlined in draft legislation for this week's special legislative session obtained by WLRN.

Governor Ron DeSantis pledged to veto the recently passed immigration bill backed by Republicans in the legislature.

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

Although I can’t message it to the masses the way [DeSantis] can, I feel very comfortable with the position of the Legislature,” the Miami lawmaker said.
