To discern facts from falsities, PolitiFact looked at DeSantis’ record on immigration while in Congress, and the facts behind Newsom’s claim that DeSantis supported amnesty.

Stephen Miller, who led Trump’s first-term immigration agenda, provided The New York Times an overview of Trump’s second-term immigration proposals. Some of the plans mirror Trump’s 2016 campaign promises; others go further.

Legal experts said they saw John Lauro’s statements as political positioning rather than a true legal defense.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said "Illinois is now letting illegal aliens become police officers." The statement contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ plan largely mirrors promises made by his GOP nomination rival former President Donald Trump. Several of their goals require funding from Congress or an immigration system overhaul.

Florida’s new immigration law includes penalties for employers who hire people who aren’t legally authorized to work in the U.S. Although, seasonal workers are not specifically mentioned in the law.

PolitiFact and WLRN explain the slight tend of more Floridians moving to California per capita rather than the other way around.

DeSantis said California "gives unemployment checks" to immigrants in the U.S. illegally. We found that California provides some benefits to people in the country illegally, but unemployment relief is not among them.

PolitiFact and WLRN have fact-checked several claims about political candidates’ stance on "amnesty," and we've found that people apply different definitions to the term.
