'This is a big win for the people of Florida.'
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' weeks-long fight with the GOP leadership in the state House over different anti-illegal-immigration bills is now over, as the legislature is going with most of DeSantis' plans.
DeSantis and GOP leadership were in a war of words after House Speaker Daniel Perez (R) gaveled out of the special session DeSantis called and then immediately gaveled in anothere special session for the legislature to put forward its own bill to tackle illegal immigration. But the legislature's bill was not as strong as DeSantis' proposals, leading the governor to go across the state to urge voters to call their representatives to voice opposition.
On Monday, DeSantis announced he and the state legislature have finally agreed on a bill that addresses illegal immigration. While DeSantis thanked the House and Senate, the final bill is mostly what he initially proposed a few weeks ago.
