Jan. 13 (UPI) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is convening state lawmakers for a special session to impose additional duties on local officials and secure funding to facilitate President-elect Donald Trump‘s promised immigration crackdown — a move that is not sitting well with state-level Republican leadership.

DeSantis announced the special session, to be held the first week of the Trump administration, during a press conference Monday in which he told lawmakers that Florida needs to be prepared for “a sea change in policies, particularly with respect to border and illegal immigration.”

Trump, who is to be inaugurated as the 47th president on Jan. 20, is reportedly planning around 100 executive orders for Day One of his administration, some of which are to address immigration. Axios, which was the first to report on the executive orders, had stated the plans were previewed for Senate Republicans during a meeting last week.

Florida’s Republican governor has been among President Joe Biden‘s staunchest critics, and has frequently railed against his immigration policies, going so far as to charter flights to send migrants to Democrat-led cities.

“State and local officials in Florida must help the Trump administration enforce our nation’s immigration laws and we are going to need in order to do that effectively, we are going to need legislation to impose additional duties on local officials and provide funding for those local officials,” he said in announcing the special session to be held the week of Jan. 27. The Florida Legislature is scheduled to convene in March.

“We need to act and we need to act quickly.”

DeSantis said funding — “not a lot of funding” — will be needed for detention, relocation and transportation infrastructure as well as for local law enforcement support. He also stated that local officials “neglecting their duties” in regards to enforcing the new immigration laws will be suspended.
