Gov. Ron DeSantis held a briefing in Tallahassee on Friday morning to announce a new agreement with the federal government on illegal immigration that he said will expedite the removal of people who are unlawfully living in Florida.

The partnership will give the Florida Highway Patrol the authority to conduct certain immigration enforcement duties.

"This agreement will give FHP expanded power and authority to interrogate any suspected alien or person believed to be an alien" in the U.S., DeSantis said.
