Florida lawmakers are about to vote on revised immigration enforcement bills backed by Governor Ron DeSantis, breaking a two-week standoff that has highlighted intraparty tensions. In a compromise, the role of chief immigration officer will no longer belong to a single elected official. Instead, a new board including the governor, agriculture commissioner, attorney general, and chief financial officer will oversee immigration enforcement, requiring unanimous decision-making. The compromise benefits DeSantis as he prepares to appoint loyal allies to key positions vacated by officials joining the Trump administration, maintaining his influence over immigration policy.
