TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House and Senate openly rebuked Gov. Ron DeSantis’ call for a special session on immigration Monday by defiantly rejecting his slate of bills, then adjourning and immediately regrouping to consider alternative legislation approved by their leaders.

The Florida Legislature passed a sweeping immigration bill Tuesday night, transferring key responsibilities from the governor to the agriculture commissioner in regard to immigration enforcement.

"Just like all the immigration bills we passed, it isn't a silver bullet, but we're moving the ball forward, and we have to support the president."
