The Florida legislature has passed new legislation that strengthens Gov. Ron DeSantis' migrant relocation initiative. The proposal now moves to the governor's office to be signed into law. The legislation, SB 6-B, puts forward an extra $10 million in state funding to fund the controversial migrant relocation program, and gives the governor the authority to fly migrants from any part of the U.S. to sanctuary cities or states. The bill was, in part, intended to cut off a legal challenge to the governor's migrant relocation program, which began last year when DeSantis used taxpayer dollars to fly a group of South American migrants from Texas to the liberal enclave resort island of Martha's Vineyard.
