Florida lawmakers have recently passed a series of stringent immigration laws, aimed at cracking down on undocumented immigrants, with Governor Ron DeSantis signing the bills shortly after their approval. The legislation includes controversial measures such as the potential death penalty for certain convicted undocumented immigrants, and a repeal of in-state tuition for immigrant students. Despite the crackdown, businesses have been largely exempted from stringent enforcement measures. The recent developments mark a tumultuous period within the Florida GOP and highlight a growing alignment with national immigration priorities under former President Trump. As tensions continue between DeSantis and his fellow Republicans, the new laws position Florida among the states with the most severe immigration policies in the country.
