A 2018 constitutional amendment designed to bolster victims' rights "does not explicitly" shield the identities of police officers --- or any other people --- from disclosure, the Florida Supreme Court ruled in a major decision on Thursday.

In flying 50 migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, DeSantis said: "It’s better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction, and yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you, to be able to go to greener pastures.”

Wrote the plaintiffs: “Throughout Florida, schools are taking extraordinary measures to purge any trace of LGBT people from schools, and teachers are afraid to show any support for LGBT students.”

The caps came nearly six years after voters approved a constitutional amendment broadly legalizing medical marijuana and more than three years after the Legislature authorized smokable marijuana.

It allows authorities to take guns from people found to pose a “significant danger” to themselves or others. Critics say it gives the government too much power and doesn’t do enough to safeguard due-process rights.

The decision will almost certainly keep in place for this year’s elections the controversial 2021 law that created additional hurdles for voters to cast ballots by mail.

It follows a ruling last year that the law violated the First Amendment.

The governor signed two Disney-related measures passed during a special session on congressional redistricting, prompting credit-rating agency Fitch Ratings to place a “rating watch negative” on about $1 billion in outstanding debt.

Critics say it poses a threat to thousands of migrants in the state whose temporary visas have expired or whose applications for asylum already are in the pipeline.

The bill coincides with an effort by the DeSantis administration to shutter shelters that provide housing and other services to unaccompanied children whose immigration or refugee status is being processed after they enter the country.
