Florida lawmakers defied DeSantis and approved their own version of sweeping immigration reforms amid a GOP power struggle.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) chided state lawmakers over a bill it passed with the intent to combat illegal immigration, spotlighting several issues with the “grotesque” bill that he had with the legislature and its purpose.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to veto an immigration bill on Wednesday in the latest escalation of a statehouse showdown with Republican legislative leaders over whose proposals would best carry out President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
