DeSantis Responds to Newsom's Criticism on Migrant Flights.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defended his state's program to relocate migrants to blue states, saying that sanctuary cities should bear the consequences of "open borders." DeSantis held a roundtable with law enforcement officials in Arizona to discuss illegal immigration and criticized sanctuary cities for endorsing open-border policies. He also defended the use of a $12 million fund in Florida to pay for the relocation program and promised to roll out more policies in the weeks ahead. DeSantis did not directly respond to California Governor Gavin Newsom's criticism or address potential legal trouble that could come from his actions.

The bill also limits social services for immigrants lacking permanent legal status. DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, called it a response to the "Biden border crisis." Democrats criticized the bill, warning it would push migrants away from medical care and weaken Florida's workforce. The White House also criticized the plan, calling it a political stunt.

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.
