“That’s the reason why we did this proposal. He (DeSantis) is not going to work with ICE. He wants a little mini-version of ICE. He wants his own state guard with his own bureaucrats picking up the illegal aliens and shipping them off to another portion of the world, wherever it is that they originate from. That’s not working in conjunction with President Trump. It’s tough to want to work with a gentleman that when he doesn’t get his way, threatens to primary members of the legislature. That’s a tough place to be in.” – Republican Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez, ramping up the turf war with DeSantis, who has raged about rebellious GOP lawmakers nightly on Fox News.
As you can see below, it’s a full-on civil war.
