Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet recently met in Okaloosa County to discuss issues surrounding immigration enforcement and how best to coordinate state efforts with those of the federal government.
DeSantis and the state Legislature held a special session this past month which saw the arrival of new laws focused on giving localities more authority to go after illegal immigrants, toughened penalties for those illegal immigrants found guilty of crimes such as child rape and murder, and created boards to help streamline the process.
