Thank God Florida elected Ron DeSantis instead of corrupt little socialist Andrew Gillum. Today, DeSantis will follow through on one of his campaign promises and will sign a bill outlawing sanctuary cities in the state of Florida. Hey other Republican governors, you see what DeSantis is doing? It’s time for you to get your state legislatures to get a bill banning sanctuary cities so you can sign it too.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that DeSantis spokeswoman Helen Ferre sent the Sentinel an email stating: “Earlier this year, Governor DeSantis asked the Florida Legislature to present him with meaningful legislation to uphold the rule of law and ensure that no city or county jurisdiction can get in the way of Florida’s cooperation with our federal partners to enforce immigration law. Public safety is paramount and local law enforcement agencies can and should work with the federal government to ensure that accountability and justice are one in our state.”
The Sentinel noted that supporters of the bill have urged local governments and law-enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal immigration detainers and share information with federal immigration authorities once illegal immigrants have been detained.
The bill, SB 168, flatly states, “A state entity, law enforcement agency, or local governmental entity may not adopt or have in effect a sanctuary policy.”
