A Florida prosecutor is suing Gov. Ron DeSantis for removing him from office.
The state attorney from Tampa, Andrew Warren, was ousted earlier this
month by DeSantis. The Republican governor said he acted because of statements Warren had signed pledging not to prosecute people for
violating abortion restrictions or a law prohibiting gender-affirming
care for minors.
Warren filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court, saying that the governor violated his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Although he
spoke in favor of abortion rights and gender-affirming medical care,
Warren had not taken any action on those issues and his office had no
cases pending. Warren was twice elected as state attorney, and Warren
says DeSantis violated his right to freedom of speech and by his actions overturned an election.
