Ron DeSantis Lists Proposals for Florida’s Special Session on Illegal Immigration

WINTER HAVEN, FL – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced proposals for a Special Legislative Session in Florida. During a press conference, DeSantis asserted that the proposed actions will enable Florida to effectively implement President-Elect Donald Trump’s mandate to address illegal immigration.

“Florida is ready to lead,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “With President Trump taking office, Florida has a unique opportunity to help facilitate the end to America’s immigration crisis.”

Gov. DeSantis’ legislation includes:

  • Mandate maximum participation in the 287(g) deportation program, with penalties for non-compliance, including suspension of officials;
  • Establish a state crime for entering the U.S. illegally and a process for self-deportation;
  • Appoint a dedicated officer to oversee coordination with federal authorities and the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program (UATP);
  • Expand UATP to detain and facilitate the deportation of illegal aliens from the U.S.;
  • Broaden the legal definition of gang-related activities to include more groups of dangerous illegal aliens;
  • Repeal in-state college tuition for illegal immigrant students;
  • Require voter registration affirmation of U.S. citizenship and Florida residency;
  • Increase penalties for unauthorized aliens committing voter fraud or providing false voter registration information;
  • Mandate identity verification for foreign remittance transfers; and
  • Create a rebuttable presumption that illegal aliens are flight risks and deny bail.
