"DeSantis Tightens Florida's Stance on Undocumented Immigration with New Legislation"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed bills increasing prison and jail sentences for undocumented immigrants convicted of driving without a license or committing felonies, citing the need to uphold the law and address illegal immigration. Immigrant support groups criticize the bills, arguing that they endanger public safety and advocate for comprehensive measures such as driver education and access to licenses and insurance for all qualified drivers. The bills also increase maximum prison sentences for immigrants convicted of felonies after being previously deported, drawing criticism from civil liberties and immigrant advocacy groups.
