PANAMA CITY, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced the results of a first-of-its kind law enforcement operation targeting illegal immigration—Panhandle Immigration Enforcement Operation. This operation led by the Florida Highway Patrol in coordination with federal partners at ICE, Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Border Patrol, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is part of a comprehensive, multi-agency immigration enforcement detail targeting illegal aliens with criminal records, fugitives, and repeat immigration violators.

“This week, a first-of-its-kind immigration enforcement operation started in Florida’s Panhandle, led by the Florida Highway Patrol in coordination with federal partners,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. ”The Panhandle Immigration Enforcement Operation has apprehended hundreds of illegal aliens—including fugitives with criminal records and repeat unlawful border crossers. Florida continues to deliver on the mandate to secure our interior and protect our citizens from the threat of illegal immigration.” Continue reading →

Washington, DC —Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) released the following statement following U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins’ announcement of $675.9 million in federal disaster assistance for Florida farmers impacted by Hurricanes Idalia, Debby, Helene, and Milton:

“Florida’s agriculture industry isn’t just the backbone of our state’s economy—it’s a cornerstone of our national food security. From citrus growers and cattle ranchers to timber operations and family farms, the devastation from back-to-back storms has been overwhelming. This $675.9 million investment will go a long way in helping our producers rebuild infrastructure, recover lost income, and stay in business,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “I want to thank President Trump, Secretary Rollins, and our state partner, Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, for recognizing the urgent needs on the ground and delivering the targeted, meaningful relief our ag community needs and deserves.”

Washington, D.C. — Washington, D.C. — Today, the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus—Representatives Kat Cammack (R-FL), Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Andy Harris (R-MD), Bob Onder (R-MO), and Chris Smith (R-NJ)—released the following statement:

“The death threats directed at Congresswoman Kat Cammack, her unborn child, her family, and her staff are unacceptable. These threats followed the Wall Street Journal profile which detailed her personal experience with a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—an experience that should spark compassion, not hatred.
This response exposed just how reckless and dangerous the abortion lobby’s disinformation campaign has become.
Let’s be clear: not a single major medical organization—including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Mayo Clinic, and the Cleveland Clinic—considers treatment for ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage to be elective abortion. These are life-threatening emergencies that require medical intervention. Continue reading →

Washington, D.C. —Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) introduced a House Resolution reaffirming the importance of accurate medical information and guidance for the public, lawmakers and emergency department professionals, treating pregnant women and their unborn children, particularly in the cases involving miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

“No woman facing a medical emergency like a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy should be left in danger because of confusion or misinformation,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “This resolution is about reinforcing the importance of long established and clear guidance for doctors so that patients receive quality care and that the public is properly informed on what current law does—and does not—allow.”  Continue reading →

Washington, D.C. —Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL-03) and Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ-06) introduced the Supporting Equity for Aquaculture and Seafood (SEAS) Act—bipartisan legislation which ensures aquaculture and seafood producers are eligible for USDA grants, scientific research opportunities, and agricultural development initiatives.

“America’s national security is closely tied to our food security. As aquaculture continues to advance with new technologies and techniques, it offers the promise of more affordable, sustainable, and safe seafood for American families. Florida’s aquaculture industry generates over $165 million in annual sales, ranking among the top states nationwide,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “I’m proud to work alongside Rep. Pallone in strengthening and supporting USDA’s aquaculture initiatives.”  Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that he is sending a formal letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration urging the federal government to revoke commercial driver’s license (CDL) program authority and strip related federal funding from California and Washington following the deadly crash on August 12th, 2025, that claimed three lives.

“States like California and Washington ignored the rules, gave an illegal alien a license to drive a 40-ton truck, and three people are dead as a result. A preventable tragedy due to sanctuary state policies,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “In response, we’re supporting our Agricultural Law Enforcement and state police to ramp up inspections at state entry-points for illegal aliens who may be operating large trucks using out-of-state driver’s licenses. If you’re here illegally or can’t speak English, you have no business operating large commercial vehicles on Florida’s roads. We commend Commissioner Simpson and his department’s 287(g) certified law enforcement officers for turning Florida’s interdiction stations into strongholds of immigration enforcement. Together, we will ensure dangerous drivers are taken off the road and criminals serve their time before deportation.” Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General James Uthmeier today announced the arrest of Alexandria Mary Beatrice Tatem for Perjury by False Written Declaration, a third-degree felony under Florida law. The arrest follows a joint investigation led by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Office of Executive Investigations and the Elections Crime Unit.

“We will not tolerate fraud, let alone fraud that undermines the integrity of Florida’s nation-leading election system or uses the names of deceased voters to change our state’s constitution,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “This arrest shows our commitment to upholding the law and protecting the sanctity of Florida’s elections. My office will continue to lead the charge against any form of voter fraud in Florida.” Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General James Uthmeier today announced that his office filed a lawsuit against McGraw Hill LLC and Savvas Learning Company LLC, accusing the companies of systematically overcharging Florida school districts for instructional materials in violation of state law and the Florida False Claims Act.

“Our lawsuit exposes a textbook case of corporate greed—companies charging Florida schools more than the law allows, pocketing the difference, and sticking taxpayers with the bill,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Florida will not be a playground for deceitful profiteers who think they can cheat our students and teachers. We will make sure they pay back every dime and face the full consequences under the law.”

The complaint, filed in the Second Judicial Circuit Court, asserts that the defendants failed to comply with Florida’s statutory pricing requirements for instructional materials adopted for statewide use. Under Florida law, publishers must give every Florida school district the best price offered anywhere in the nation, automatically extend any price cuts made available elsewhere, and provide free materials to Florida schools whenever they are provided free to others.  Continue reading →

LAKE WORTH, Fla.— Attorney General James Uthmeier joined Governor DeSantis at Palm Beach State College to discuss the 2020 Census and Congressional Apportionment.

“Florida was robbed by the left’s multi-year effort to rig the 2020 Census, and Floridians didn’t get the representation they deserve in Congress,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “President Trump called for a new Census, and I’m ready to work with Governor DeSantis to bring the president solutions and get it done.”

Privately funded multi-million dollar ad campaign—launched without taxpayer dollars—will be broadcast on national and local television, across all major social media platforms, and MakeAmericaFentanylFree.com

The Make America Fentanyl Free ad campaign was launched to support President Trump’s efforts to save American lives from deadly fentanyl, which continues to be a leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. The presence of fentanyl and other deadly drugs skyrocketed in American communities under the Biden administration’s open border policies, which allowed dangerous criminals, terrorists, and deadly drugs to pour into our country.

On day one in office, President Trump shut down the dangerous, open border and stemmed the flow of deadly fentanyl through our country. As a result, fentanyl traffic at the border fell by 54% in the first months of the Trump Administration. In order to continue eradicating deadly fentanyl from our communities, the Make America Fentanyl Free ad campaign was launched to join the President’s fight to: Continue reading →
