TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House and Senate openly rebuked Gov. Ron DeSantis’ call for a special session on immigration Monday by defiantly rejecting his slate of bills, then adjourning and immediately regrouping to consider alternative legislation approved by their leaders.

The bills include measures to repeal out-of-state college fee waivers for DACA recipients and the expansion of the state's "Unauthorized Alien Transport Program" to include deportation.

DeSantis said his office was not involved in discussions about the bill that passed Tuesday, which he called “weak, weak, weak.”
