Florida lawmakers defied DeSantis and approved their own version of sweeping immigration reforms amid a GOP power struggle.

DeSantis said his office was not involved in discussions about the bill that passed Tuesday, which he called “weak, weak, weak.”

Governor Ron DeSantis held a roundtable in West Palm Beach as part of a series of discussions with local law enforcement as he seeks to introduce his own contentious immigration laws in the face of opposition from the Legislature.
