Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Monday that he will call for a special session of the state Legislature to not only ensure all local governments assist the upcoming Trump administration with immigration policies but also provide additional funding to do so effectively:

"State and local officials in Florida must help the Trump administration enforce our nation's immigration laws and we're going to need in order to do that effectively legislation to impose additional duties on local officials and provide funding for those local officials. There also needs to be measures to hold people accountable who are violating our anti-sanctuary policies. Florida need to make sure that we don't have any lingering incentives for people to come into our state illegally. Therefore I'm going to call the legislation into special session starting the week of January 27th"
