In a dramatic turn of events, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has promised to veto a hotly debated immigration bill that recently passed in a special legislative session. The move has fueled a growing feud between the governor and fellow Republicans, who defied his stance on the issue.

DeSantis didn’t hold back during a public appearance in Fort Myers on Wednesday, slamming lawmakers for what he called “treachery” and accusing them of playing political games instead of addressing the concerns of their constituents. He emphasized that the bill didn’t go far enough in cracking down on illegal immigration and hinted he’d push for a stronger version later.

The legislation, approved late Tuesday, aimed to allocate over $500 million to assist local agencies with immigration enforcement. It also proposed harsher penalties for undocumented immigrants and created a new state office to coordinate these efforts. However, the bill faced opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans aligned with DeSantis, making a veto override unlikely.

This public spat marks a rare moment of tension between the governor and his own party. New House Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton have taken bold steps to challenge DeSantis, even as he heads into the final stretch of his term. Some lawmakers have even positioned themselves as closer allies to former President Donald Trump, adding another layer to the political drama.

At the heart of the debate is a question of priorities: DeSantis argues that lawmakers are failing to act on their campaign promises, while legislators seem eager to assert their independence. As the veto looms, Floridians are left wondering how this clash will shape the state’s approach to immigration—and its political future.
