The veto pledge capped a dramatic few days in which Republican legislators publicly criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis and portrayed themselves as truer allies of President Trump.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he’ll veto an immigration bill passed by the Republican-led legislature, dismissing it as too “weak” and accusing lawmakers of watering down efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised Wednesday to veto a sweeping immigration bill, in the latest escalation of a statehouse showdown between the governor and the state's Republican legislative leadership, who have sparred over whose proposals would best carry out President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

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

DeSantis said that the Legislature’s bill “fails to honor our promises to voters, fails to meet the moment, and would actually weaken state immigration enforcement.”

State Rep. Juan Carlos Porras joined CBS News Miami to discuss why he's been vocal of Gov. Ron DeSantis' criticisms of the bill and why he disagrees with him.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) slammed the single bill the Florida legislature took up out of session, claiming it sets up Florida to become a “defacto sanctuary state.” DeSantis called the Florida legislature to meet in a special session to begin supporting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Tensions are spilling out into the open between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and members of his own party in the Sunshine State, pointing to a new discordant era of GOP-led politics in a state that has trended red over the last few cycles.
