Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a comprehensive immigration bill designed to bolster federal deportation efforts and implement stringent measures against illegal immigration within the state.

The law allocates approximately $298 million to hire over 50 additional law enforcement officers dedicated to immigration enforcement.

It also provides grants for equipping and training local agencies, offers bonuses for officers assisting in federal operations, and funds the leasing of detention facilities.

Ron DeSantis: «Well, I just want to thank the leaders once again for their hard work on this and also point out that we have had a lot of success in Florida. There are always people, and I meet many legislators from other states who come here asking what’s going on with all of this. And we have had the opportunity to work with incredible people.

But Ben and the Speaker of the House have been with me since day one. They weren’t necessarily in leadership positions at the time, but they have played a key role in all these accomplishments. So I really appreciate that. I appreciate Landon for this project. And guys, get ready, because this is just the beginning. We are going to get to work. You’re going to see a lot of things happening very quickly.»
