Gov. Ron DeSantis called an immigration bill passed in the Florida Legislature a “very grotesque piece of legislation.” He also insinuated Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson used his influence as a former Senate President to shape the bill.

Governor Ron DeSantis said ‘yes’ Wednesday morning, when he was asked if he would veto the immigration bill Florida lawmakers passed Tuesday night.

Flanked by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, Gov. Ron DeSantis said the bill would deter local law enforcement from deporting undocumented immigrants.
