DeSantis Criticizes Judge Blocking Florida Immigration Law

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized a federal judge for blocking a new state law aimed at criminalizing the presence of immigrants who entered the state illegally, calling the judge an 'activist.' U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ruled the law likely unconstitutional, asserting that immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, a decision DeSantis intends to appeal. The governor expressed confidence that the case could ultimately reach the Supreme Court. In a related context, legal experts have scrutinized Judge James Boasberg for his rulings against the Trump administration's deportation policies, questioning his impartiality due to family ties to immigration advocacy. These rulings have sparked a political debate about the extent of federal judicial power in shaping immigration policy. Both cases reflect the contentious nature of immigration law and the role of the judiciary in the United States.
