Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' sweeping immigration reform bill was signed into law on Wednesday and is already being met with protest in Central Florida.

More than 50 people gathered in Apopka to stand up against the law that lawmakers have said is aimed at reducing the number of immigrants living in the state illegally.

Senate Bill 1718 features several provisions that work to limit government support of those in the state illegally.

One part of the new law would make it against the law to transport someone in the country illegally. 

Orlando resident Salvador Rosas says he is concerned about his grandparents living in Chicago. 

He says those family members, who are undocumented, will no longer be able to travel to Florida to spend time with him.

“They can end up being detained and deported back to Mexico, and I could end up facing 15 years in prison,” said Rosas.

The 21-year-old was one of many speaking out at the rally concerning the new law.

“I know the plan was to get the 800,000 immigrants living in Florida to go back to where they came from,” said Rosas.

The new law also requires hospitals that accept Medicaid to include a question on intake forms about a patient’s citizenship status. And it requires the use of E-verify, a federal database employers check for a worker’s employment eligibility, for companies with more than 25 employees.

Many groups at the protest say they plan to assist others in legal action against the governor and the new law.
