Florida Legislature votes to strip DeSantis of immigration oversight powers (www.miamiherald.com)

In collaboration with the White House, Republican leaders in the Florida Legislature revamped and approved a bill on Tuesday that seeks tougher penalties on undocumented immigrants that commit crimes — and removes much of the governor’s authority over immigration, an issue that Ron DeSantis has made a cornerstone of his legacy in Florida.

The legislation — nicknamed the TRUMP Act — was amended to include several new provisions that House Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton said were suggested by the Trump administration. They said the changes will align the state’s immigration laws to the new changes ushered in by President Donald Trump to identify and deport scores of people who are in the country illegally.

Notably, Republican leaders are stripping much of the governor’s immigration oversight authority and giving it to Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, a Republican statewide elected official. DeSantis has railed against this move, saying that putting the official who oversees farming in charge of immigration would be like putting the “fox in charge of the hen house.”
