Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a leading role among Republican governors on immigration enforcement, submitting plans to President Donald Trump aimed at expanding deportations. These plans include proposals to have Judge Advocate Generals (JAGs) in the Florida National Guard serve as immigration judges. DeSantis has emphasized his commitment to keeping Florida safe and secure through bold actions on illegal immigration. Following a recent immigration raid in Florida that resulted in 1,120 arrests, DeSantis stated that this is only the beginning of enforcement efforts.

In addition to immigration issues, DeSantis has criticized the Florida House of Representatives for their handling of a condo bill, suggesting changes should have been made earlier in the year. He has also expressed strong opposition to the House's proposed property tax cuts, threatening to veto the tax package and labeling it as a "Florida-last" plan that would undermine the state's ability to provide property tax relief. House Speaker Daniel Perez's sales tax cut proposal has also drawn DeSantis's ire, further highlighting tensions between the governor and the Republican-controlled legislature.
