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.

As has been the case all week, DeSantis is delivering his verdict at press conferences, the latest in Destin on Friday where he urged legislators to buck Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez. He suggested the bill hadn’t been transmitted yet because legislators can’t handle the rejection he believes will inevitably come.
