When Democratic Tampa-era prosecutor Andrew Warren declared he wouldn't carry out any prosecutions having to do with either abortion or transgender care, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded by suspending him. And Warren has filed a lawsuit against the far-right Republican governor.
Warren discussed his suspension and his decision to sue DeSantis' office during an interview with the Daily Beast, stressing that he isn't simply suing to get his job back but rather, because he believes DeSantis has crossed a dangerous line by suspending an elected official. The Hillsborough County prosecutor wasn't appointed to that position by DeSantis, but rather, was chosen by voters.
