DeSantis plans to advance legislation that\u2064 prepares Florida to assist Trump wiht the \u200dremoval and detention of undocumented migrants, including efforts to\u2064 revive the 287(g) program, which allows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pledges-orderly-transition-of-power\/\" title=\"President Trump pledges orderly transition of power\">local law enforcement<\/a> to collaborate with federal immigration authorities.

That same year, DeSantis&rsquo;s office famously arranged flights to send 50 Venezuelan migrants in San Antonio to Martha&rsquo;s Vineyard, Massachusetts, prompting criticism from Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We want to expand and broaden that program,&rdquo; the Florida official explained. &ldquo;Right now, the law is drafted in a way that&rsquo;s limited to transportation within the United States, but we want to make sure that that law is expanded to transportation, pretty much anywhere, and to broaden it to include potentially detention efforts as well.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The special session will also seek to ensure local law enforcement agencies are devoting enough resources to aiding the federal government&rsquo;s immigration crackdown. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We also intend to require them to make some percentage of their other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/crenshaw-the-lie-of-systemic-police-racism-that-kills\/\" title=\"CRENSHAW: The Lie Of \u2018Systemic Police Racism\u2019 That Kills\">law enforcement agents<\/a> available to be trained to perform immigration activities,&rdquo; said the official. &ldquo;This doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean that they would be taken off the beat in order to do this.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&rsquo;s office has been in contact with the Trump transition team, according to another senior Florida government official, with the governor&rsquo;s office expecting a task force of ICE officers to enact sting operations to catch and detain migrants. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3262116\/tom-homan-predicts-collateral-arrests-trump-mass-deportation\/\"><strong>EXCLUSIVE: BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN PREDICTS &lsquo;COLLATERAL ARRESTS&rsquo; WITH TRUMP MASS DEPORTATIONS PLAN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ahead of this, the governor is seeking to expand state provisions to target migrants involved in gang activities, hoping to increase more &ldquo;enhancements&rdquo; against immigrants who vote illegally and commit other crimes, and cracking down on companies that send money overseas to verify the legal status of people sending funds.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, DeSantis wants the legislature to create a provision deeming migrants who have committed crimes a flight risk to dispel from bail and a pretrial release.<\/p>\n<p>Republican state House Speaker Daniel Perez and Republican Senate President Ben Albritton&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/3285885\/republicans-desantis-trump-focused-special-session-premature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">denounced<\/a> DeSantis calling the legislature into special session before the regular session on March 4 as &ldquo;premature.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But DeSantis moved forward with the proclamation calling the special session, prompting approval from Trump.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Thank you Ron, hopefully other Governors will follow!&rdquo; Trump said on Truth Social. <\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Gov.
