TL;DR Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a comprehensive immigration overhaul bill, including banning local governments from issuing identification cards for people who can’t prove citizenship, requiring hospitals to include a question on intake forms about the patient’s citizenship status, and increasing penalties for human trafficking-related offenses. This comes just a day before President Biden's administration plans to end Title 42, a pandemic-era immigration policy that makes it easier to expel migrants. DeSantis has long used immigration to attack Biden, with whom he has openly sparred for nearly two years as his national ambitions have risen.
