DeSantis was an officer and Navy lawyer at Gitmo in 2006, when prisoners committed to a mass hunger strike. Guards there ultimately restrained and force-fed many of them using nasal tubes — a practice the United Nations Human Rights Commission deemed a form of torture.

During a roundtable event on Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis voiced his disapproval of the sweeping immigration bill that Florida lawmakers passed on Tuesday.

House Speaker Danny Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton pushed back in a way the governor hasn’t seen before.

Gov. Ron DeSantis was in Central Florida Wednesday lashing out at the newly passed "TRUMP Act," a sweeping bill addressing illegal immigration that came from the Florida Legislature's special session last night.

Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature passed a plan that includes boosting criminal penalties for undocumented immigrants.

DeSantis said the new legislation would hinder his ability to marshal law enforcement agencies around the state to execute deportations.

They think if they put Trump's name on it, that somehow that's going to pull the wool over people's eyes,' DeSantis said over bill.

I’m not going to take lectures from someone who a year ago didn’t think Donald Trump should be president,” said state Sen. Randy Fine.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned state lawmakers not to defy him on illegal immigration, saying it would be politically "hazardous" to close a special session without progress.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) teased a veto of the legislation in a social media post, claiming that the bill pushed by state Republican leaders is weak.

Florida lawmakers rejected Gov. Ron DeSantis' special session on illegal immigration but immediately segued into their own session with their own version of a similar bill.
