Gov. Ron DeSantis is pressing ahead on aiding federal deportation efforts even as he remains locked in a stalemate with legislative leaders over new laws to beef up state and local immigration enforcement.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday that he directed Florida Highway Patrol troopers to help enforce U.S. immigration law.

State troopers will be deputized and trained to help the Department of Homeland Security round up and detain illegal immigrants under an agreement between Florida and the Trump administration announced by Gov.

Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez will soon be named interim president at Florida International University, according to multiple reports.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he supports Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez's move to reportedly be interim president at FIU. He disputed reports that she would resign on Friday, saying there are procedures and contracts that likely need to go through various approval processes.

Florida International University trustees voted Friday to install Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez as interim president, meaning she will leave her statewide-elected office 23 months before her term expires. Trustees expect she will assume the presidency officially after a formal search.
