Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) mocked criticisms that the special session he has called for is “premature.” With President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration less than a week away, DeSantis requested the Florida legislature to meet on Jan.

Among his priorities, the governor said he wants to force local police to assist with immigration enforcement and require E-verify for money transfers.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is not backing down from his order to hold a special legislative session despite pushback from state GOP leaders who call it "premature" and "irresponsible."
