Trump Praises DeSantis for Immigration Session

President-elect Donald Trump commended Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for calling a special legislative session on January 27 to secure funding for enforcing immigration laws, aligning with Trump's agenda of mass deportations. DeSantis emphasized the need for state and local officials to actively support federal immigration policies and proposed additional funding for law enforcement and other resources. Some Florida Republican lawmakers expressed concerns that the timing of the special session was premature, highlighting a divide within the party. In contrast, DeSantis's approach reflects a broader push among Republican governors to implement stricter immigration measures in anticipation of Trump's return to office. Meanwhile, Democratic-leaning states like California are mobilizing to counter these efforts, pledging significant resources to protect immigrant rights. The situation illustrates a growing rift in state politics as preparations for the new administration unfold.
