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

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.

Gov. Ron DeSantis went on the offensive on Friday, again going after the Florida Legislature on the contentious issue of illegal immigration.
