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.

Even as DeSantis called the new bill "weaker," legislative Republicans pushed their legislation through the committee process Monday.

After Florida legislators rejected Gov. Ron DeSantis' immigration proposals to pass their own package instead, DeSantis fired back by promising to veto their bill. DeSantis' plan for a veto comes as little surprise amid the feud between the governor and the Republican House and Senate leaders.
