DeSantis signs immigration overhaul as he eyes White House bid.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new immigration bill into law that strengthens his migrant relocation program and limits social services for immigrants without permanent legal status. The law also expands the use of E-Verify for businesses and prohibits local governments from providing money to organizations that issue identification cards to immigrants without permanent legal status. DeSantis has made illegal immigration a key priority of his administration as he prepares to launch a presidential campaign. The law provides $12 million for DeSantis’ migrant relocation initiative, which drew national attention last year when the governor flew a group of South American migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
