FLORIDA NEWS
The Florida Farmworkers Association of Florida is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ recent illegal immigration crackdown law by way of the ACLU claiming the law in unconstitutional. The attorneys claimed the law violated the Equal Protections Clause in the 14th Amendment while also calling it “anti-immigrant” and “xenophobic.”
According to a new report, the University of Florida “explicitly lied” to Governor Ron DeSantis about the scope of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs. It was originally claimed by the university that there were approximately 30 DEI programs receiving $5 million of funding, but the public records request found that there were as many as 1,000 DEI programs “embedded in every facet of the university’s programs and administration.”
On the presidential campaign, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he does not see a federal role in providing school lunches. “I don’t want the federal government coming down, And honestly, the federal government in the past, remember they used to do the food pyramid,” DeSantis said. “They said don’t eat, don’t eat fat, eat all the carbs. No, the carbs will make you fat too. And so they were wrong about that.”

Well said!!
Congrats LCSO.
When will the ACLU understand that illegal is illegal no matter how you spin it.
Well, you saw what Mrs. Obama did to School Lunches.
The ACLU suing over the crackdown on ILLEGAL immigration is laughable. I’m unaware of anyone that has claimed the foreigners can’t come into this country LEGALLY, for short term visits, years long college education, or a permanent relocation as long as the rules are followed.
Suing to give millions of non-citizen felons 14th Amendment rights and have them financed by the 330 million people that live here legally is fraud.
Immigrants are good, it is when illegal immigrants infiltrate The System and compromise our health safety welfare and National Security. I want leadership who encourages legal immigration and enforces illegal immigration.
